Bertius, Petrus. [Bert].

1565-1629.
Petrus Bertius grew up in Beveren in Flanders and as a young man travelled widely in Europe. In company with so many of his compatriots he moved to Amsterdam as a refugee from religious persecution and after completing his studies there he was appointed a professor of mathematics and librarian at Leyden University. As well as being a prolific writer on mathematical, historical and theological subjects he is known as a cartographer for his editions of Ptolemy's Geographia (based on Mercator's edition of 1578) and for the miniature atlases detailed below. In 1618 he moved to Paris and became Official Cosmographer to Louis XIII. He was related by marriage to Jodocus Hondius and Pieter van den Keere.

SCHWENSEN, CARL.


Norsk litograf. Han startade på 1850-talet en litografisk byrå som nämns fram till år 1882. 1859 gav han ut en 'Godtkjöbs-Atlas' som senare kom i flera utgåvor. Från hans byrå stammar en mängd kartor av olika slag, stadskartor, väg- och järnvägskartor, fickkartor m.m. Av hans arbeten kan nämnas 'Detailkart i 74 Blade over Christiania' (1880).

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:
Zee Atlas.
