Anthonie Jacobsz founded a printing and publishing business in Amsterdam in which he specialized in the production of pilot books and sea atlases. As he died at a comparatively early age most of the numerous editions of his works appeared after his death published by his sons, Jacob and Caspar, who took the name 'Lootsman' (sea pilot) to distinguish them from another printer of the name Jacobsz.
Following Blaeu and Colom, Anthonie Jacobsz was the most important compiler of sea charts in Amsterdam in the first half of the seventeenth century. In his new ZeeSpiegel issued in 1643 he increased the number of ch...

Död 1696.
Engelsk förläggare och kartograf. 1668 etablerade han sig som förläggare. 1680 påbörjade han utgivningen av ett stort atlasverk, 'English Atlas' efter mönster av de holländska kartverken, först och främst Janssonius (se denne), vars arvingar han arbetat tillsammans med. Pitt blev emellertid ruinerad efter att de 4 första banden utkommit och verket blev aldrig slutfört. Pitt själv blev satt i häkte under en tid och skrev sedan en uppseendeväckande bok om förhållandena där, 'The Cry of the Oppressed' (1691).

Holländsk kartograf. Utmärkte sig som kopparstickare och verkade som sådan i Amsterdam, men är först och främst känd för sina sjökartverk.

GERRITSZ [GERARD, GERARDUS, GHERRITSZOON van ASSUM].
Biografiska uppgifter:Hessel 1581-1632.
Gerritsz was apprenticed to W. J. Blaeu as an engraver before starting in business on his own account. He worked closely with Petrus Plancius and his merit may be judged by the fact that he was appointed Cartographer to the Dutch East India Company in preference to Blaeu and subsequently held the same position in a newly formed West India Company. With the new company he came into touch with Johannes de
Laet for whom he prepared a number of new maps of America in the latter's Nieuwe Wereldt published in 1625. His most important early work was a chart showing Henry Hudson's discoveries in his voyage of 1610-11: it is the first to give an outline of Hudson's Bay and indicates Hudson's belief that he had found a way to the North West Passage.
