Only burghers could hold certain offices, become members of influential guilds (essential for most professions), and enjoyed privileges such as exemption from tolls within Holland. Obtaining burghership was a formal matter, confirmed by the \"Mayors and Regents of the City of Amsterdam\" and recorded in a burgher book and on such a document. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIAxAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBBAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eThis document represents an important social and economic status from that time and offers a fascinating insight into the urban structure of yesteryear.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Fsg96\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"AdPoic\" aria-level=\"3\" role=\"heading\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOriginal Burgher's Oath of Amsterdam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAB\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOctober 20 (1784?)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAC\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrinted form with handwritten entries and a blind seal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAD\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVery good, considering its respectable age of almost 300 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAE\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDirectly related to the administration of the Amsterdam City Archives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAE\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 by 15.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIAhAD\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou swear that you will be a good and faithful Burgher of this City, obedient to the Mayors and Regents in due time, you will willingly participate in Watch, Guard, and other Protections and burdens of this City, you will warn this good City of any evil you perceive, and you will, to the best of your ability, promote and assist in all prosperity, both with counsel and deed; and furthermore, you will do and refrain from doing everything that a good Burgher is obliged to do and refrain from doing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSo truly may Almighty God help you.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Antiekhuys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56467525828952,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/9919\/1896\/files\/20251230-202327.png?v=1767696564","url":"https:\/\/antiekhuys.nl\/en\/products\/exclusieve-duik-in-de-amsterdamse-geschiedenis-poorterseed-uit-18-eeuw","provider":"Antiekhuys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
