Linschoten, Jan Huygen van.

1563-1610.
Van Linschoten, born in Haarlem, is heard of in the service of the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa where he spent five years between 1583 and 1588. On his return to Holland he produced a History of his travels, important for the inclusion of maps from Portuguese sources, at that time rarely available to Dutch - or any other - cartographers. The maps (including a world map by Petrus Plancius) engraved by van Langren, are highly decorative with large cartouches, the arms of Portugal, compass roses, rhumb lines and sea monsters. Some are illustrated with views of prominent places or islands.

ELWE, JAN BARNED.

GOOS, PIETER.

Biografiska uppgifter:1616-75.
Holländsk kartograf. Utmärkte sig som kopparstickare och verkade som sådan i Amsterdam, men är först och främst känd för sina sjökartverk. 'De Lichtende Colomne ofte Zee-Spiegel' som kom ut i 12 utgåvor 1654-88, och 'Zee-Atlas ofte Waer-Weerelt' som kom ut i 16 utgåvor under 10 år (1666-76). Som förläggare gav han ut ett flertal verk om navigation och besläktade ämnen.

Dutch cartographer and copperplate engraver based in Amsterdam. Famous for his marine maps in De Lichtende Colomne ofle Zee-Spiegel published 1654-88, and Zee-Atlas ofle Waer-Wereld published 1666-76. Goos also produced works on navigation.

Abraham Goos son, Pieter, continued and extended his father's business and became one of the group of well-known engravers of sea charts active in Amsterdam in the middle years of the seventeenth century. In common with Colom, Doncker and Jacobsz he published a pilot guide, the Zee-Spiegel, basing it on plates obtained from Jacobsz. This went through many editions in different languages under the startling titles so popular at the time. In addition to publishing his Zee-Spiegel in the usual Parts 1 and II (Europe and Atlantic coasts) and Part III (Mediterranean) he broke new ground in preparing Parts IV and V, covering charts and sailing directions for the coasts of the West Indies and West Africa. The later editions of the Zee Atlas were published by his widow who eventually sold the publishing rights of the Atlas and of the Zee-Spiegel to Jacobus Robijn.
