ILVB register 1501-1507 fol 190v line 11-15 colour version

This fragment of archival text, written in a Middle Dutch secretary hand, records a transaction involving 'Jheronimus van Aken,' the artist known as Hieronymus Bosch. The lines detail a commission for painting the shutters of a new altarpiece or choir screen for the Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady in 's-Hertogenbosch. The entry concludes with a recorded payment or valuation of seven Rhine guilders.

This document serves as critical primary source evidence for the life of Hieronymus Bosch, placing him within the religious and social context of a prominent lay confraternity. These administrative records provide the historical grounding for an artist whose visionary and moralizing works are foundational to the Western esoteric and philosophical tradition.
