RENSSELAER, Kiliaen & his first wife Hillegonda van BYLER (BYLLAER). Four autograph 'Love-letters' in Dutch preparing their marriage in 1616, sealed and signed. Frankfurt a/M, and (Utrecht) 1615-16.
Collection of four letters, two by Killiaen Rensselaer to his fiancee Hillegonda van Byl(la)er, who was living in Utrecht and whom Van Rensselaer would marry in 1616, written at Frankfurt, short after his arrival there to attend the 'Messe', and two letters by Hillegonda.- In the first letter (double-leaf, 315 x 207 mm. with address and seal), dated Frankfurt, 20 September (old style: 10) 1615, he informs Hillegonda about the save journey and deals at length on his sincere feelings towards her, affirming that his love is not a case of 'wijt uijtter oogen, wijt uijtter herten' (Out of sight, out of the heart)! He extensively philosophizes on the reasons why their marriage will be a proper and respected one, confirming his promise of marriage. He wishes that Hillegonda would long as much for his safe return as he is longing for his homecoming. - The second letter (double-leaf, 309 x 193 mm. with address and seal), is dated Frankfurt, 17 September (old style; = 27) 1615. In this interesting letter he elaborates on the conditions of their future marriage, very important for the knowledge of marriage circumstances in the Dutch Golden Age in rich merchant circles. He warns Hillegonda not to listen to bad gossip about him, and he assures that he is glad that their families both are of the same faith, are of the same social level and share many good friends. On top of this Hillegionda is the only heir of her uncle Wolfert van Byler in whose service Van Rensselaer has been for many years. He even is Wolfert's authorised agent in case Wolfert would die. Then he would even be appointed guardian of Hillegonda.- Further an autograph letter from Hillegonda to KIliaen van Rensselaer (leaf of 310 x 195 mm; Utrecht, 17 April 1616) on financial matters. Being in Utrecht Kiliaen had given her the value of 300 guilders in 'pistolets' (Spanish golden coins) to pay off a loan, supposing that a pistolet is worth 7 guilders and 8 stuvers. She, however, can only get 7 guilders and 6 stuvers for a pistolet, so she asks him to bring her the amount in another coinage (because there was a difference of c. 3%). She ask Kiliaen who is staying Amsterdam to greet her uncle. At the bottom of her letter she confirms in mirror writing the receipt of his letter to her uncle. - Finally her unaddressed autograph letter (probably to Kiliaen van Rensselaer as well; leaf of 155 x 100 mm; dated 16 June 1616 ) on family matters and in which the arrival of uncle De Roode is announced. It appears that she is ill, because she mentions that fever will probably be over soon. <B>Kiliaen van Rensselaer</B> (1586-1643) was a Dutch Diamond and pearl merchant from Amsterdam who was one of the founders and Directors of the Dutch West India Company, and who was instrumental in the establishment of New Netherland. He was one of the first patrons and the only and the only successful one, having founded the Manor of Rensselaerswyck in what is now mainly New York's Capital District a region in upstate New York that generally refers to the four counties surrounding Albany, the capital of the state: Albany County, Schenectady County, Rensselaer County, and Saratoga County. His estate lasted as a legal entity until the 1840s, having lived through Dutch and British Empire, colonial times, the American Revolution and eventually coming to an end during the Anti-Rent War.Kiliaen van Rensselaer was married twice: (1) on 23 July1616 with Hillegonda van Byler (1598-1626), daughter of the eldest brother of Wolfert van Byler, Jan van Byler and Hillegonda Egberts, and (2) in 1626 with Anna van Wely (1601-1670), daughter of Johan van Wely (d, 14 March 1616) and Leonora Haeckens (d. 1652). Van Rensselaer had at least eleven children, two of whom succeeded him as patrons of Rensselaerswyck.Kiliaen van Rensselaer was the son of Hendrick van Rensselaer (1555-1602) and Maria Pafraet (b. 1558), both from Amsterdam. His father was a captain in the Dutch army until his death at the Siege of Ostend. With his father usually not home, Van Rensselaer's mother sent him to apprentice with his uncle, Wolfert van Bijler, a jeweler and diamond merchant. At the time, the gem trade was a prosperous enterprise to join, being a well-developed craft. In those days, the diamond trade was nearly always combined with the trade in pearl.Much of Van Rensselaer's work is unknown during this early time, though in March 1608 it has been recorded that he was taking care of some business of Van Bijler in Prague. It seems van Bijler gradually retired from his business, leaving it in the control of Kiliaen van Rensselaer. During his tenure at the helm of his uncle's business, Van Rensselaer proposed a merger with the firm of Jan van Wely, son of Johan van Leeuwen vanWely (1553-1612) who was married with Geertruyt van Byler (1557-1615), one of van Bijler's sisters. The firms combined under the name of Jan van Wely & Co. on 28 February 1614. Van Rensselaer's name was not included in the name of the new company, since he contributed only one eighth of the investment capital, where Van Wely contributed half (192,000 guilders). In 1616, Van Wely was called on by Maurice of Nassau to meet at the Hague for a sale in jewels. He was murdered while waiting to meet with the Prince. The firm's contract stipulated that at the death of Jan van Wely, the remaining members of the firm should continue the partnership for another six years. Van Wely's murder, therefore, caused no change in the business, but it seems that at the expiration of that time, Van Rensselaer began again on his own account, founding Kiliaen van Rensselaer & Co. with the well-known Jacques I'Hermite as a partner.Some of van Rensselaer's success as a jewel merchant came about due to trade made possible by the Dutch East India Company. The practical spirit of the Dutch merchant could not fail to point out that the way to riches was through trade with the West Indies and Africa. After long years of preparation, the Charter of the Dutch West India Company was granted by the States-General of the Netherlands on 3 June 1621, and the subscription list was opened. Van Rensselaer was one of the first subscribers. Van Rensselaer and Hillegonds van Bijler had three children. The first was Hendrick, Kiliaen's first son, believed to have died in childhood. Johan van Rensselaer, second patron of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck, was the eldest son. He became head of the family at the death of his father, but never visited Rensselaerswyck. Maria, their last child, was buried on 4 January 1627. Hillegonda van Bijler is presumed to have died in late December 1626, since she was buried on 1 January 1627.The family records, many of which were translated and published in the <I>Van Rensselaer Bowier Manuscripts</I>, reveal the personality of the man who figures prominently in the history of colonization as the founder of the only successful patronship that ever existed in New Netherland, which Van Rensselaer unfortunately never visited himself.Van Rensselaer's effest on the history of the United States cannot be underestimated: the American Van Rensselaers all descent from Kiliaen's son Jeremias and the subsequent family is noted for being a very powerful and wealthy influence in the history of New York and the Northeastern United States, producing multiple State Legislateros, Congressmen, and two Lieutenats Governors in New York.<B><I>Full transcriptions of the letters on request</I></B>.
In a very good state of preservation.

Bibliothekseinband, Einband gering berieben, sonst: Gut bis sehr gut erhalten. ** Der Sezessionskrieg (auch Amerikanischer Bürgerkrieg) war der von 1861 bis 1865 währende militärische Konflikt zwischen den aus der Union der Vereinigten Staaten ausgetretenen Südstaaten - der Konföderation - und den in der Union verbliebenen Nordstaaten. Ursache war eine tiefe wirtschaftliche, soziale und politische Spaltung zwischen Nord- und Südstaaten, die vor allem in der Sklavereifrage zu Tage trat. Die sich seit etwa 1830 verschärfenden Konflikte eskalierten schließlich zum Krieg, als die meisten Südstaaten als Reaktion auf die Wahl Abraham Lincolns zum US-Präsidenten aus der Union austraten. Die bewaffneten Feindseligkeiten begannen mit der Beschießung Fort Sumters durch die Konföderierten am 12. April 1861 und endeten im Wesentlichen mit der Kapitulation der Nord-Virginia-Armee in Appomattox Court House am 9. April 1865. Die letzten konföderierten Truppen kapitulierten am 23. Juni 1865 in Texas. ** The American Civil War (1861-1865), also known as the War Between the States and several other names, was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy). Led by Jefferson Davis, they fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states and the five border slave states. Union states were loosely referred to as "the North". In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing and incoming US administrations rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion. Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a US military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Lincoln responded by calling for a volunteer army from each state, leading to declarations of secession by four more Southern slave states. Both sides raised armies as the Union assumed control of the border states early in the war and established a naval blockade. In September 1862, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery in the South a war goal, and dissuaded the British from intervening. Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back after the Battle of Gettysburg and, in the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River at the Battle of Vicksburg, thereby splitting the Confederacy. Long-term Union advantages in men and material were realized in 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Sherman captured Atlanta, Georgia, and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance collapsed after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. It sped the abolishment of slavery in the United States, restored the Union and strengthened the role of the federal government. The social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era that lasted to 1877, and brought changes that helped make the country a united superpower.

JACOBSZ, HEYMAN. Zondags Schoole, of Uytlegginge Op de Evangelien van de Zondagen. Alsoo men die hout in de H. Kerke, door het gantsche Jaar. Zeer bekwaam om de Kinderen te laten leeren, of te vertalen in 't Frans, Latijn of andere Talen. Oversien, en verbetert met schoone Gebeden en konstige Figuren, na den Roomschen Text. Antwerpen (= Amsterdam), Erf. van de Wed. C. Stichter, 1772.
<B>Ad 1:</B> Rare religious chapbook, written by the double of another very famous schoolbook, the "Gemeyne Send-Brieven", by Heyman Jacobi. The present schoolbook, teaching Catholic religion in a Protestant environment, was popular both in the Northern and Southern Netherlands, although in the Northern Republic it was mostly published under a fictitious Southern Netherlands' publisher's address. Still, the book is very rare and today no copies are found in the Dutch collections of Waller, Van Rijn, De Koning, etc. Teachers could let the childern learn the lessons by heart, or use the book to let the children translate the lessons into French, Latin, or any other tongue. The book is richly illustrated with popular woodcuts, of which one on page 203 is fully signed by H. Numan. They mostly show scenes from the New Testament. <B>Ad 2:</B> As the author states in his preface, the "Heylige-Daags Schoole" was composed after the model of Heyman Jacobi's popular "Zondags Schoole", and meant to complement the work, treating not only the Gospels for the Sundays, but the Gospels on all Saints throughout the year. The work is often found published together with Heyman Jacobsz.' work, and is richly illustrated too with the portraits of the Saints in popular woodcuts in various styles, so not all woodcuts will have been made by Christoph van Sichem, although several are signed with his monogram. At the end a list of all official Roman Catholic feast-days for the Diocese of Utrecht is given. <B>Ad 3</B>: This curious chapbook, dicussing the ten commandments in a dialogue between a father and his child, has a long previous history. According to Van heurck it found its origin in a work of the 15th century, ascribed to Johannes Schulze from Cologne, titled: "Dits der Sielen troost ghenaemt". But this work, being condemned and banned by the Catholic Church, only survived in the censored extracts made by Francois van Thienen at the end of the 16th century under the present title: "Dobbelen Zielen-troost", all copies of which are extremely rare. The oldest copy van Heurck knows is an edition published by Gaspar van Gaesbeek at Antwerp in 1697. And the oldest edition Van Heurck records is an Antwerp edition of ca. 1770 with an Approbation of 1722. The present edition, dated 1742, has an Approbation of 1662, stating: "... is nut ende bequaam gevonden... ook voor de Ionkheyt in de Schoolen". The present editions of all three popular works are unrecorded.
