Book collector from the Netherlands

I have a few books of Martien Coppens, although not the really rare ones like "Monster in de Peel". I am always looking for material of Eindhoven before 1800, although that is really scarce. These old pictures of Eindhoven are in my collection:

Spilman 1738 - Saint Catharine's church and monestary Marienhaeghe



Hogenberg around 1600 - Siege of Eindhoven 1583


Baudartius ~1600 - Siege of Eindhoven 1583



Daniel Constantijn van Renesse ~1650

Country-Fair with Two Charlatans

 

That is great!
Do you happen to know of a map that shows the former lands of Mariënhaeghe? I was told our house was built on what used to be monastery land.

Now you're talking! Would the backdrop be part of the monastery ruin?

There is a book about the monestary (actually about a book that is written there) called Florarium temporum. In this book is also a chapter with the history of the monestary. I checked if there is a map with the lands belonging to the monestary, but it is not in this book unfortunately.



Would the backdrop be part of the monastery ruin?

Yes I think so. When I relate the etching with the tower of the church it must be somewhere near the neo-gothic now (Jesus dare devil - Jesus waaghals as the locals call the large statue on top of the church).

 

I know of it, it was found again a couple of years ago, wasn't it?

That's the Paterskerk or Augustijnenkerk. Being old-fashioned I still call it by the old nickname, Jan-met-de-handjes. Jezus Waaghals is a pretty recent nickname, I believe it was coined by a journalist, not by locals.

 

Hallo! Groetjes uit Enschede!
