B Strada’s Will
1584-07-01 Jacopo Strada’s will, Vienna 1 July 1584
A] Vienna, HHStA, Niederösterreichisches Landmarschallamt, Testamente, Karton
33, s.v. Strada [= the original]
Three sheets of paper folded together in a gathering of 6 folii or 12 pages, bound
by a beautiful cord of loose particoloured silk, secured on the recto of the last fo-
lio by the strip of paper carrying the four seals of Strada and the three witnesses;
the verso bears the following entry in the hand of clerk of the Landmarschalamt:
‘Eröffnet von dem Herrn Landundmarschalk amts verwalter Herrn Ferdinanden
von [Canem] dem 28 September anno 90 in Beisein Octavien und seines Brued-
ers Paulu[m] Strada auch anstat des ungevogten [? illegible, ‘Sohns’ or ‘Tobias’]’
and a labeling: ‘Jacoben Strada Testament; No 7’
B] Vienna, önb-hs, cod. 8709 [copy]
This copy is not letterperfect, and was probably made on occasion of the settle-
ment of Strada’s estate. It carries a note in the copyists hand: ‘die Vergleichung
der Bruedern und Schwestern vide in S[eguito?]’. Unfortunately this latter docu-
ment appears not to have been preserved.
A partial transcription is included in the database created by Manfred Staudinger,

In Namen der heilligen unzerthaillten Dreifaltigkait Gottes Vaters, Sohns und heilligen
Geistes Amen, hab ich Jacob Strada Röm[ischen] Khaij[serlichen] M[aiestä]ts Die-
ner und Antiquitarius betracht und zu Gemüet gefüert das zerganckhlich Leben der
Menschen, das auch nach Ableibung derselben, mer wegen der zaitlichen Verlassung,
Irrung und Streit entsteen; zu Füerkhumung dessen, hab ich wie es mit meinem zeitli-
chen Guet, nach meinem Ableiben, so der almachtig Gott, nach seinem Segen mir ert-
heillt, gehallten werden soll. Disen endtlichen meinen letzten Willen und Testament,

Vernufft, auss eigner Bewegnuss und ungedrungen, gemacht und geordnet, will auch
das also gehalten und volzogen [copy: es] werden soll.
– Erstlichen bevelch ich jetzo und zur Zeit meines Abscheidtenss, mein arme Sell in
die gnadenreiche Barmhertzigkeit Gottes.
