Abstract

In and out of prison most of his life, Aris Kindt [12] was known as a petty thief prone to violence. Such a misery was Kindt that he was even banned from his hometown of Leiden in South Holland. In the winter of 1632, Kindt was back in a Holland prison for assault and robbery, having been apprehended while stealing a man’s cloak [10]. Worse yet for the jailed thief, the Amsterdam Guild of Surgeons’ annual ‘‘anatomy lesson’’ was fast approaching, and the Guild needed a body.
