Son till Cornelius Danckerts (se denne).
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.
1667-1727.
Engelsk kartograf. 1701 gav han i Oxford ut en atlas med titeln 'New Set of Maps of Ancient and Present Geography'. Den följdes av tre nyutgåvor, den senaste 1726. Hans kartor är mycket schematiska och enkelt ritade men likväl inte helt utan dekorationer.
