Description: Rare copy of a letter with cardboard binding, pages damaged at the bottom middle, small piece of paper missing there. See photo's www.arinevandersteur.nl. Rare letter, issued in the restless period of the remonstrant and contra remonstrant feud. This letter was mentioned in the famous pamphlet den haerlemschen Harminiaen. A harminiaen is a follower of the ideas of Arminius in Haarlem. In 1618 this pamphlet was directed against the city government of Haarlem, the Harminiaenen. According to the unknown author the government was unfairly banning the contra-remonstrants from the city, without a trial. Van der Laan was the maior of Haarlem.
