Everaerts was a lawyer from Grijpskerke near Middelburg. He was president of the Court of Holland (1510-1528) and president of the Grand Council of Mechelen (1528-1532). Previously, he was an ecclesiastical judge (official) for the bishop of Cambrai and professor at the University of Leuven. In 1516 he published a handbook on legal argumentation, the “Topicorum sive de locis legalibus liber” (Leuven: Dirk Martens). This book went through many printings well into the 17th century.

On verso, pasted on the top left corner: Nicolaus Everardus.
