Cats studied law at several European Universities and became famous as a defender of people accused of witchcraft. He was also active in politics and held important positions, like Keeper of the Great Seal in 1643.

Cats is still fondly remembered by the Dutch people as"Father Cats".Condition of the leaves: As shown, in good condition on hand-made paper with an indistinct watermark. The leaves shows evidence of ageing or use. I will mention flaws that cannot be seen on the photos.
