Född 6 oktober 1654 i Strängnäs, död 24 mars 1720 i Stockholm.
Fram till adlandet 1693 Peringer, fornforskare. Yngre bror till orientalisten Gustaf Peringer, adlad Lillieblad.
Johan Peringer blev student i Uppsala 1677, antogs 1680 till 'ämnesven' vid Antikvitetskollegium och blev 1682 kanslist. Han erhöll sedan i uppdrag att i sällskap med Johan Hadorph göra resor i landsorten för att uppleta och avteckna gamla minnesmärken och runstenar. Då samlades det första materialet till det stora runstensverk, som längre fram utgavs under namn av Bautil.
Sedan han 1689 blivit assessor i Antikvitetskollegiet, ägnade Peringer sig huvudsakligen åt samlandet av ett svenskt diplomatarium samt genealogier. 18 folianter förstördes visserligen vid slottsbranden 1697, men arbetena gjordes om, och han lämnade efter sig betydande, hos Vitterhetsakademien förvarade avskriftssamlingar ('Bullarium', m.m.; se art. Svenskt Diplomatarium). 1693 blev Peringer efter Hadorph sekreterare vid Antikvitetsarkivet och riksantikvarie samt adlades samma år med namnet Peringskiöld. Han var 1698-1711 ä...

Cassini de Thury, César-François
17 June 1714 – 4 September 1784
César-François Cassini de Thury (17 June 1714 – 4 September 1784), also called Cassini III or Cassini de Thury, was a French astronomer and cartographer.
Cassini de Thury was born in Thury-sous-Clermont (Oise), the second son of Jacques Cassini and Suzanne Françoise Charpentier de Charmois. He was a grandson of Giovanni Domenico Cassini, and would become the father of Jean-Dominique Cassini, Comte de Cassini.
In 1735, he became a member of the French Academy of Sciences as a supernumerary adjunct astronomer, in 1741 as an adjunct astronomer, and in 1745 as a full member astronomer.
In January, 1751 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
He succeeded to his father’s official position in 1756 and continued the hereditary surveying operations. In 1744, he began the construction of a great topographical map of France, one of the landmarks in the history of cartography. Completed by his son Jean-Dominique, Cassini IV and published by the Académie des Sciences from 1744 to 1793, its 180 plates ar...

Keere, Pieter van den [Kaerius, Petrus]
Biografiska uppgifter:1571-c. 1646.
Pieter van den Keere was one of a number of refugees who fled from religious persecution in the Low Countries between the years 1570 and 1 590. He moved to London in 1584 with his sister who married Jodocus Hondius, also a refugee there, and through Hondius he undoubtedly learned his skills as an engraver and cartographer. In the course of a long working life he engraved a large number of individual maps for prominent cartographers of the day but he also produced an Atlas of the Netherlands (1617-22) and county maps of the British Isles which have become known as Miniature Speeds, a misnomer which calls for some explanation.
In about 1599 he engraved plates for 44 maps of the English and Welsh counties, the regions of Scotland and the Irish provinces. The English maps were based on Saxton, the Scottish on Ortelius and the Irish on the famous map by Boazio. These maps were not published at once in book form but there is evidence which suggests a date of issue (in Amsterdam) between 1605 and 1610 although at least one authority believes they existed only in proof form until 1617 when Willem Blaeu issued them with a Latin edition of Camden's Britannia. At this stage two maps were added, one of the British Isles and the other of Yorkshire, the latter derived from Saxton. To confuse things further the title page of this edition is signed 'Guilielmus noster Janssonius', which is the Latinized form of Blaeu's name commonly used up to 1619.
At some time after this the plates came into the possession of Speed's publishers, George Humble, who in 1627, the year in which he published a major edition of Speed's Atlas, also issued the Keere maps as a pocket edition. For these he used the descriptive texts of the larger Speed maps and thereafter they were known as Miniature Speeds. In fact, of the 63 maps in the Atlas, 40 were from the original van den Keere plates, reworked, 16 were reduced from Speed and 7 were additional. The publication was very popular and there were further re-issues up to 1676.
