Brereton
(1604

die
In
1634
ons
land
bereisde,
verhaalt
als
volgt
zijn
bezoek
op
11

E
„Thuesday
11
Junii
we
went
into
the
house
of
Yantunus,
who
„hath
been
professor
m
Leyden
of
the
Arabic
language
a
lusty
old
man,
whose
„beard
reacheth
his
girdle.
In
this
house
he
hath
erected
a
most
curious
water-work
„at
an
infinite
charge;
no
room
without
some
rare
invention
for
pleasure
and
delight;
„none
for
lodging
almost,
hut
also
contrived
and
furnished
with
several
inventions,
„and
those
all
various
to
affect
the
outward
sense,
and
draw
on
ghuests
to
apply
„there.
He
is
an
Anabaptist,
but
a
man
of
most
strange
invention.
This
most
rare
„invention,
this
waterwerk,
is
erected
in
the
top
of
the
house,
which
is
six
stories
„high,
where
having
heard
all
sorts
of
music
upon
strings,
upon
wind-instruments,
„and
upon
an
instrument
which
did
in
a
pleasant
tune
and
harmony
make
the
bells
„to
sound,
playing
thereon
as
you
do
upon
virginalls.
Here
we
had
three
great
„glasses
of
their
muddy
stuff,
for
which
we
paid
(and
fora
dish
of
almonds
„and
raisins)
six
Dutch
shillings.
After
this
we
were
taken
into
a
loft
or
gallery
in
„the
same
room:
over
against
us
stood
upon
a
convenient
place,
for
that
end
pre
-
„pared,
the
proportion
of
a
woman
milking
a
cow,
who
seemed
to
move
with
her
„hand,
and
milking
until
the
vessel,
whereinto
the
water
distilled
or
was
milked,
„ran
over.
Here
was
another
woman’s
proportion,
as
it
were
carrying
away
a
vessel
„upon
her
head,
which
being
filled
with
water,
did
also
overflow.
