Son till MORTIER, PIETER. 1721 ingick han kompanjonskap med Johannes Covens (se denne), och förde sin fars verksamhet vidare under firmanamnet Cóvens et Mortier. Deras kartproduktion, nämnt under Cóvens, var förvisso den viktigaste delen av verksamheten, men bokproduktionen verkar också ha varit ganska omfattande. Under viss tid samarbetade de med brodern Pierre Mortier (död 1754) som hade sin egen verksamhet, bl.a. om utgivningen av ett stort illustrerat bibelverk.
Kleerkooper.
1563-1610.
Van Linschoten, born in Haarlem, is heard of in the service of the Portuguese Archbishop of Goa where he spent five years between 1583 and 1588. On his return to Holland he produced a History of his travels, important for the inclusion of maps from Portuguese sources, at that time rarely available to Dutch - or any other - cartographers. The maps (including a world map by Petrus Plancius) engraved by van Langren, are highly decorative with large cartouches, the arms of Portugal, compass roses, rhumb lines and sea monsters. Some are illustrated with views of prominent places or islands.
