Talk:Pieter van Ruijven

Full name
Pieter Claesz. van Ruijven: What is indicated by the period/full stop at the end of the name 'Claesz'? I've observed occurrences of this name both with and without the stop, on the web and in GBooks. --Ekaterina Colclough (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:37, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Ekaterina Colclough According to fr Wikipedia, Claesz is the abbreviation for Claeszoon, meaning the son of Claes, perhaps the full stop indicates an abbreviation. TSventon (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
