ILVB register 1519-1525 fol 64v line 4-6

This archival fragment consists of three lines of early 16th-century Dutch secretary hand written in brown ink on paper. The text records a financial transaction involving Aleid van de Meervenne, identified as the wife of the painter Hieronymus Bosch, concerning a donation for an altar. This document is part of the administrative records of a prominent religious confraternity in 's-Hertogenbosch.

This register entry is a primary biographical source for Hieronymus Bosch, providing historical proof of his social standing and his involvement with the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady. Bosch's membership in this brotherhood is central to understanding the orthodox yet highly visionary religious context from which his complex, often esoteric, moralizing allegories emerged.
