Pieter Thymans (Peter Thijmanszoon), an Ana­baptist martyr of Zutphen, burned at the stake in Amsterdam, Holland, on 6 August 1552. By trade he was a cooper and later a bookbinder; he was baptized by Gillis van Aken. Pieter was in a group of twenty Anabaptists who were arrested at Amsterdam in May 1552. Only two of them were citizens of Amsterdam; all the others had come to Amsterdam from elsewhere. Pieter had come only eight days before he was arrested. Five were burned at the same time as Pieter, five more on 6 January 1553, and the other nine, who had not been rebaptized and who recanted, were only fined and banished.
