DURER AT ANTWERP.

So then on Sunday after St Giles’ day I travelled with Herr Tomasin 2 Sept,
to Mechlin and took leave of Herr Hans Ebner, and he would take
nothing for my expenses while I was with him—7 days. I paid 1 st. for
Hans Geuder1. 1 st. I gave to my host’s servant for a leaving gift.
At Mechlin I supped with the Lady of Nieuwekerke, and early on 3 Sept-
Monday I started away from the town and travelled to Antwerp.
Dilrer at Antwerp (3 Sept.—4 Oct. 1520).
I dined early with the Portuguese. He gave me three pieces of
porcelain and Rodrigo gave me some Calicut feathers. I have spent
1 fl. and paid the messenger 2 st. I bought Susanna a mantle for 2 fl.
10 st. My wife paid 4 fl. Rhenish for a wash-tub, a bellows, a bowl,
her slippers, fire-wood, knee-hose, a parrot-cage, two jugs, and trinkgelds.
She has spent besides for eating, drinking, and other necessaries 21 st.
Now on Monday after Giles’ I have again come into Jobst Plankfelt’s 3 Sept,
house, and I have dined with him as many times as I have here marked
jjj jjj j jjj jjjjjj j j- I gave Niklas, Tomasin’s man, 1 st. I paid 5 st.
for the little frame, and 1 st. more. My host gave me an Indian cocoa-
nut and an old Turkish whip. Thus often have I dined with Tomasin

The two Lords of Rogendorf invited me. I dined once with them
and drew their arms large on a wood-block for cutting2. I have given
away 1 st. My wife has changed 1 fl. for 24 st. for expenses. I gave 2 st.
for a trinkgeld. I dined once in the Fuggers’ house with young Jakob
Rehlinger3, and I have also once more dined with him. My wife has
again changed 1 fl. for 24 st. for expenses. I gave an engraved Jerome
and the two new half-sheets—the Mary and the Anthony—to Wilhelm
Hauenhut, servant of my lord Duke Friedrich the Palgrave. I gave
Herr Jacob Bannisis a good painting of a Veronica face, a Eustace, the
Melancholy, and a Sitting Jerome, the St Anthony, the two new Marys
and a' new Peasant (b. 89). Then I sent to his secretary, Erasmus, who
drew out the Request for me, a Sitting Jerome, the Melancholy, the
Anthony, and the two new Marys. And what I have given them is
worth 7 fl. in all.
I gave Master Marc (de Glasere of Bruges), the Goldsmith, a
Passion in copper and he gave me 3 fl. in payment. I have besides
received 3 fl. 20 st. for prints. To the glasier Honigin4 I gave 4 little
engravings. I have dined with Herr Bannisis jjj. I paid 4 st. for
carbon and black-chalk. 1 fl. 8 st. I paid for wood and spent 3 st. more.
This number of times have I dined with my Lords of Niirnberg,
