WAESBERGHE, JOANNES JANSSONIUS VAN.
Död ca. 1680.
Holländsk bokhandlare. Han var från början boktryckare i Rotterdam, men kom till Amsterdam och gifte sig med en dotter till Joannes Janssonius (se denne). Efter svärfaderns död fortsatte han tillsammans med de övriga arvingarna dennes firma. Enligt signaturen på flera av kartorna samarbetade han en tid med engelsmannen Moses Pitt (se denne) mer om detta har inga ytterligare uppgifter hittats. Efter Waesberghes död verkar det som en del av kartorna övertagits av andra förläggare, däribland Peter Schenk (se denne) och Gerard Valk (se denne). Verksamheten drevs vidare som ett familjeföretag, åtminstone ett antal år in på 1700-talet.
Son till Pieter Schenk d.ä. Drev åren 1730-50 en bokhandel i Amsterdam och gav även ut kartor.

Biografiska uppgifter:Mechelen June 29, 1517 – Leyden March 10, 1585
Rembert Dodoens was a Flemish physician and botanist, also known under his Latinized name Rembertus Dodonaeus.
In 1530 he started his studies of medicine, cosmography and geography at the University of Louvain, where he graduated in 1535. He established himself as a physician in Mechelen in 1538. He married Kathelijne De Bruyn(e) in 1539. He had a short stay in Basel (1542-1546). He turned down a chair at the University of Louvain in 1557. He equally turned down an offer to become court physician of emperor Philip II of Spain. He became the court physician of the Austrian emperor Rudolph II in Vienna (1575-1578). He then became professor in medicine at the University of Leiden in 1582.
Dodoens' herbal Cruydeboeck with 715 images (1554) was influenced by that of Leonhart Fuchs. He divided the plant kingdom in six groups. It treated in detail especially the medicinal herbs, which made this work, in the eyes of many, a pharmacopoeia.
It was translated first into French in 1557 by Charles de L'Ecluse ('Histoire des Plantes') and later into Latin in 1583. In his times, it was the most translated book after the Bible. It became a work of worldwide renown, used as a reference book for two centuries.
Dodoens's last book, Stirpium historiae pemptades sex (1583) was the Latin translation of his Cruydeboeck. It was used as a source by John Gerard for his Herball.
Dodoens is commemorated in the plant genus Dodonaea, which was named after him by Carolus Linnaeus.
