Anna Bijns

De vader van Anna Bijns (1493-1575), Jan Bijns, was kousen- (of eigenlijk broeken-)maker en wellicht ook rederijker. Anna bracht haar jeugd door in het huis ‘De Cleyn Wolvinne’ aan de Grote Markt (nu nummer 46). Ze had een zuster, Margriete (geboren in 1495) en een broer, Marten (geboren in 1497). Na het overlijden van vader Bijns in 1516 verkocht Anna’s moeder, Lijsbeth Voochs, het huis aan de Grote Markt om Marten en Margriete hun erfdeel te kunnen uitbetalen. Marten en Anna betrokken samen met hun moeder vervolgens het huis ‘De Patiencie’ in de Keizerstraat. Marten opende er een schooltje waar ook Anna les gaf.

Anna begon wellicht te schrijven aan het einde van de jaren 1510 of het begin van de jaren 1520. Ze onderhield hechte contacten

G.A. Bredero

Gerbrand Adriaenszoon Bredero (1585–1618) was a 17th century Dutch poet, playwright and rhetorician, best known for his comedic plays and folk poetry. His 1617 play Spaanschen Brabander Jerolimo (The Spanish Brabanter) is considered the greatest Dutch comedy to emerge from the Dutch Golden Age, if not from Dutch literature in general.

Soon after his death, his poems were collected in wildly popular songbooks such as the Geestigh liedt-boecxken (Merry Song Book, 1621), the Groot lied-boeck (Great Song Book, 1622) and the complete works (1638) by the Amsterdam book seller and publisher Cornelis Lodewijcksz. Vander Plasse.
