Baptismal font of 1592 noted and illustrated in Schulin (2021): "In Kath. St. Jakobi zu Goslar (1592) [...] findet man eine Kuppa, die von einem Baluster-Schaft getragen wird, und eine TD-Kuppel, die als Bekrönung einen balusterähnlichen Aufsatz aufweist." Noted in '900 Jahre Geschichte: St. Jakobus der Ältere in Goslar' [https://www.katholische-kirche-nordharz.de/kirchorte/st-jakobus-der-aeltere-in-goslar/die-geschichte-der-pfarrei-und-der-kirche/] [accessed 12 July 2023] among 16th-17h century furnishings of this church that remained after the church was awarded to the Catholics in 1803. Noted in the Denkmalatlas Niedersachsen [https://denkmalatlas.niedersachsen.de/viewer/metadata/36595485/4/-/] [accessed 12 July 2023]: "Taufbecken und Orgelprospekt aus der Renaissancezeit." Noted in MyHeimat.de [https://www.myheimat.de/goslar/c-kultur/die-wechselvolle-geschichte-der-goslarer-st-jakobi-kirche_a2026920] [accessed 12 July 2023]: "Das Taufbecken (1592) aus evangelischer Zeit ist von einer Balustrade umgeben." Noted and fully illustrated in Raymon Faure [http://www.raymond-faure.com/Goslar/Goslar_Jakobikirche_Kanzel.html] [accessed 12 July 2023] The dome-shaped metal [copper?] font cover, sides decorated with a ribbed pattern on which are painted twelve shields charged the coats of arms of Goslar families. The entry for this font in the DIO DI 45: Stadt Goslar (1997) Nr. 112, St. Jakobi gives the metal of the font as copper painted with bronze paint ["Taufbecken, Kupfer, mit Bronzefarbe gestrichen"] and provides a full transcription of the texts of the inscriptions [painted], as well as details on the persons named in them and of the coats of arms painted on the cover [https://www.inschriften.net/goslar/inschriften/nr/di045-0112.html?tx_hisodat_sources[itemsPerPage]=10&tx_hisodat_sources[orderBy]=10&tx_hisodat_sources[ascDesc]=10&tx_hisodat_sources[currentPage]=2&tx_hisodat_sources[currentItem]=112&tx_hisodat_sources[action]=show&tx_hisodat_sources[controller]=Sources&cHash=2c6ad99c02bbaaec4b46471dba4c830f] [accessed 13 July 2023]. The DIO entry further identifies the coats of armas and the persons named: "Bei den beiden in der Inschrift genannten Personen mit Namen Christoph Sander handelt es sich um Vater und Sohn (zu ersterem vgl. Nr. 106). Die Quellen sind vielfach nicht eindeutig einem von ihnen zuzuordnen, zumal beide in der landesherrlichen Bergwerksverwaltung tätig waren. Bei den jeweils vor ihnen genannten Frauen Ilsabe (von) Uslar und Magdalena Jacobs handelt es sich um beider Ehefrauen. Jürgen Gidion und Heinrich Julius Sander sind Namen der jüngeren Brüder Christoph Sanders d. J. Sophia Sander, die Ehefrau des Cosmus Sander, pachtete 1601 zusammen mit ihrem Mann ein Grundstück, das dem Petersbergstift gehörte."
