Stijntgen Evertsdochter, of Deventer, a Dutch Ana­baptist woman, who had also lived at Leiden and Gent, was arrested at Amsterdam in May 1552 to­gether with some 20 other Mennonites. Most of them died as martyrs, but Stijntgen, who had not yet received baptism upon her faith, recanted and was banned from the city. There is no reason to mention her here except for some valuable informa­tion she gave the judges concerning the singing of hymns by the Mennonites. She quoted a number of these hymns.
