Note 1 — WILLEM JANSZOON BLAEU
Reading edition
An exhaustive study of the life and work of Willem Janszoon Blaeu does not exist. One of great value and interest is that by Baudet, P. J. H. Leven en werken van Willem Jansz. Blaeu, uitgegeven door het Provincial Utrechtsch genootschap van kunsten en wetenschappen. Utrecht, 1871.
The author acknowledges here his indebtedness to Baudet’s work for invaluable aid in the preparation of this brief biography.
