Holländsk kartograf, bror till Cornelius Blaeu och son till Willem Janszoon Blaeu. Han var 1633-34 kartograf vid det holländska ostindiska kompaniet. Förutom att deltaga i familjens kartarbeten och föra dessa vidare efter faderns och broderns för tidiga död, gav han själv 1648 ut en stor världsatlas, 'Nova totius terrarum orbis tabula' i 20 blad, ett mycket omfattande utfört arbete, helt uppdaterat. Firmans kontor och lager i Gravenstraat eldhärjades svårt 1672 och skadorna blev förödande. En mängd kopparstick förlorades, däribland de norska som aldrig kunde tryckas igen. Jessen-Schardeböll nämner redan 1763 Blaeus kartor som sällsynta. Efter Joan Blaeus död gick affären över till sönerna Willem, Pieter och Joan.

Knight Leontiy Vassilievich Spafaryev (1765 - 30 January 1847) was a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Russian Navy. Spafaryev was Director of the Lighthouse Administration and cartographer of the Russian Admiralty.
Spafariev was an important contributor to the improvement of navigation along the Russian coasts. The first lighthouses in Russia were built during tsar Peter the Great's drive for reform and modernization at the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was only until the Administration of Lighthouses was created in 1807 that the Russian lighthouse system followed an organized pattern, becoming effective and efficient. This office was established by the Russian Navy and it began under the leadership of Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
As a cartographer, perhaps his most outstanding work is the 'Atlas of the Gulf of Finland', published in 1817. His name is spelt as 'Spafarief' or 'Spafarieff' in the United States.
The Spafaryev Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk and Spafarief Bay in the coast of Alaska were named after Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
