HENDRICK DONCKER II (son) c. 1664-c. 1739
Holländsk bokhandlare, bosatt i Amsterdam. Han verkar ha specialiserat sig på böcker för nautiskt bruk och som karthandlare intresserade han sig mest för sjökort. 1660 gav han ut 'De Zee-Atlas ofte Water-wereld' som kom i nyutgåva 1665. 1689 gav han ut en karta över Östersjön. Affären övertogs av sonen Hendrik Doncker (se denne).
For about fifty years Hendrick Doncker ran a flourishing business in Amsterdam as a bookseller and publisher of sea atlases and textbooks on navigation. In a period when so many maps and charts were simply copied from other publishers, Doncker's charts were his own work and were noted for their accuracy and constant improvement. Apart from this work, he cooperated for many years with Pieter Goos and Anthonie Jacobsz in producing a pilot guide De Zeespiegel. Eventually his stock was sold to Johannes van Keulen.
