Speed, John.

(1552-1629)
One of the most famous of English mapmakers, the historian John Speed decided in 1611 to publish a volume of maps to accompany his History of Great Britain. The maps were instantly popular, running to seven editions by 1676. Sudbury and Humble contracted Jodocus Hondius to engrave the plates in Amsterdam. From 1605 to 1610 Speed sent the information to Hondius, allowing Hondius to compose these famous maps.

ROBIJN, JACOBUS.

Biografiska uppgifter:Född ca. 1649.
Holländsk bok-, konst- och karthandlare. Han fick borgerskap i Amsterdam 1674. Tillsammans med Johannes van Keulen (se denne) gav han 1679 ut 26 stycken nya sjökort. 1683 lät han ge ut 'Zee Atlas' med 20 kartor och 1689 en större engelsk utgåva, 'The new enlarged Lightning Sea Column' med 137 kartor. En stor del av dessa var tidigare arbeten av Theunis Jacobsz och Jacob Theunisz (se denne). Robijn omnämns sista gången 1707.

About 1675, shortly before the van Keulen publishing business was set up in Amsterdam, Robijn practised there as a map 'illuminator' and chart seller. After a short association with Johannes van Keulen he acquired publishing rights covering the Zee-Spiegel and Zee Atlas from the widow of Pieter Goos and used the plates to produce his own pilot book and sea atlas. Apart from a small number of plates prepared to his own order, most of Robijn's work cannot be said to be original: he issued Goos's charts and those of Roggeveen with a variety of texts by J. and C. Jacobsz (Lootsman), Arent Roggeveen and even John Seller with the result that analysis of the various issues cannot easily be simplified. Robijn's stock was eventually taken over by Johannes Loots. The brief details given below should be read in conjunction with our notes on Pieter Goos and Arent Roggeveen.
Bland arbeten:
