Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica

Explokart Research Project by Günter Schilder

The aim of this series is to present an inventory of rare and significant Dutch maps and charts from the period 1550 and 1700. The bi-lingual work (Dutch and English) is the result of the author’s investigations carried out during the past 30 years in numerous Dutch and foreign collections. Many maps are reproduced in full size facsimiles. In this way rare cartographical material will be made more readily accessible to people interested in the subject. With the publication of Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica the knowledge and appreciation of Dutch cartography in its Golden Age will be furthered.

Any reference library that has the smallest interest in the history of early maps – or the history of art science, or technology – should subscribe to this series. Each volume and its accompanying portfolio of unbound full-sized reproductions is a feast for the eyes. The maps are carefully described, many of their main legends translated from Latin into Dutch and English, and the Locations of their known impressions listed. There is a full description – with equations – of the mathematical construction and projection of the maps (with help from colleagues at Utrecht), archival and biographical information related to engraving and printing, and extensive narrative on the sources of the geographical content of the maps. Particularly from first-hand accounts from voyages of exploration. However, Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica is far more than an illustrated bibliographical description. Each map is put into its context: cartographic, geographic, iconographic, and historical. Furthermore, other maps -not necessarily produced in the Netherlands – that are precursors of or associated with the main subject of the volumes, are also fully described. It would therefore be a mistake for the reader to assume that this work is about only Dutch maps. The extensive use of supporting illustrative material makes the project a veritable iconographic treasure trove: included are comparative details of maps and views, portraits, cartouches, ships, contemporary town views showing centers of the map trade, coverage diagrams showing sheet lines of major man series. heraldic arms, and other details.

Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica I (1986)

Consists of descriptions and full-size facsimiles of three wall maps of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands by Gerard de Jode (1566), Willem Jansz. Blaeu (1608) and Joannes van Deutecum-Claes Jansz. Visscher (1594, reprinted 1636). Schilder’s full and informative survey of the work of the van Deutecum ramily of engravers (fl. 1560-1630) includes a transcription of two inventories, one of 1608 drawn up before the marriage of Jan Jansz. van Deutecom and Magdalena Sebastiaans the widow of Cornelis Cornelisz. van Woerden. and the other made after Magdalena died in 1625. The whole inventory is a rich source of information for Dutch everyday life in the seventeenth-century. but of particular interest here are the references to copper plates, printing equipment. and sheet maps and religious prints for stock. For instance, a press called a ‘cunst pars’ (art press or roller press) and ‘Drucklappen’ (probably felts laid over the paper and copper plate as they passed through the roller press) are mentioned. It is also clear from this inventory that quite large stocks of maps were maintained (as many as 123 impressions from one plate were found in the first inventory) The second contains an entry for twelve plates (platen) of a map of Rome and this possibly refers to the plates for the Antonio Tempesta view of Rome.
Of the many examples of the painstaking detective work on which the success of this volume is based. the story of Schilder’s find in Skokloster Castle in Sweden of the most complete example of Visscher’s wall map of the Seventeen Provinces is the most dramatic. James Welu had already surmised that the wall map appearing in Jan Vermeer’s ‘Painter in his Studio’ had been issued with twenty small town views on the left and right sides. even though no complete example was then known. In Skokloster Castle Sweden, Schilder found an example of this map with nine of the ten views on the right hand side intact. It was in a chest underneath was thought to be the wooden bottom of a large cupboard. The map is reproduced with the remaining views (one on the right and ten on the left) reconstructed from separate impressions in other collections.

Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica II (1987)

The second volume-in contrast is much more varied in content. It focuses mainly on sixteenth-century Antwerp, until its fall in 1585 the center of the Netherlands map trade. The volume reproduces in full size maps by Abraham Ortelius, Joan Baptista Vrients. and the Galle family. Three of Ortelius’s wall maps are given chapters of their own, and the description of his wall map of the world (1564) is preceded by a description of other wall maps published before his time and outside the Netherlands. beginning with Waldseemuller (1507). Although it is not entirely clear why these non-Dutch maps were included (and the practice was not fully followed in later volumes). they are useful summary descriptions.
In chapter two of the second volume, Schilder explains the relationship between some maps of Ortelius and the Italian geographer Giacomo Castaldi and here a little Dutch-Italian rivalry rears its head. For example, Ortelius’s eight-sheet wall map of Asia in eight sheets (1567) was significantly based on Gastaldi’s ‘prima, seconda. e terza parte dell’Asia.’ In fact, Ortelius acknowledges his debt to Gastaldi in his the address to the geography of Aboulfeda, which had become known in Europe through the infamous philologist. historian, and arabist Guillaume Postel (1495-1581). Postel gave his translated summary to Giambattista Ramusio, who published it in his Navigotioni et Vioggi. a work in which Gastaldi took part. But since there was no mention of a ‘map’ in Ramusio’s summary of Aboulfeda – a ‘model’ is the word he uses one might wish for more discussion of the extent to which Gastaldi was indebted to the Arabic geographer for his information and whether or not there was an Arabic map on which he relied.
In contrast. Schilder’s analysis of Ortelius’s six-sheet wall map of Spain (1571) and its related precursors is extremely thorough. Ortelius co authored this map with Carolus Clusius, whose travels in Spain to describe botanical specimens gave rise to his famous book on the plants of the Iberian peninsula (1576). Along the way. Clusius noted the landscape in general. and this information culminated in his contribution to Ortelius’s wall map Among the useful descriptions of earlier wall maps of Spain is that concerning the curious four-sheet anonymous map in the Museo Correr and the map of Spain in six sheets (1558) attributed to Matteo Pagano by his imprint and dedicated – as are several Italian maps – to the Dutch humanist Nicholas Stopius.

Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica III (1990)
Two wall-maps of the world by Blaeu: 1619 and 1645/56

Is larger than volumes I and II combined. It is devoted entirely to the wall map of the world in two hemispheres published in 1619 by Willem Jansz, Blaeu and reissued with alterations by his son Joan in 1645-46. Both versions are part of a rich cartographic tradition in Amsterdam in the first half of the seventeenth century that satisfied an immense demand for global information Testimony to the fragility of wall maps, thousands of impressions of both maps were originally printed but only one example of each state is extant, both at the ‘Prins Hendrik’ Maritime Museum in Rotterdam.
Following the fall of Antwerp in 1585, the economic center of the Netherlands moved to the northern Netherlands, particularly Amsterdam Amsterdam’s growth was stimulated by several factors: to record exploration associated with the northeast passage, the East and West Indies, and South America; to disseminate news of the war with Spain; and to document changes in the domestic cultural landscape, particularly hydrographical. To achieve these aims, the city was able to capitalize on the new pool of geographical talent in the form of religious refugees from the southern Netherlands, particularly Cornelis Claesz, Petrus Plancius, Petrus Bertius, and Pieter and Abraham Coos.
With this backdrop in place, Schilder provides a short but very useful biography of Blaeu, who started out as Willem Jansz. but decided to adopt his father’s sobriquet (Blue Willem) as the family name to avoid confusion with Jan Jansz. who had moved in next door, Willem Jansz. thus became Willem Jansz, Blaeu around 1622. Blaeu’s appointment as official mapmaker to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) on the death of Hessel Gerritsz in 1632 sharpened his competitive edge: he now had the complete archive of maps and charts of the VOC at his disposal. But his competitors were never entirely
As further background. this volume contains a description of thirteen wall maps of the world published in Amsterdam before 1619 with all their editions, highlighting the importance of the radical Calvinist Petrus Plancius’s map of 1592 in eighteen sheets. Plancius’s map was the basis of many Late sixteenth-century wall maps – Dutch and Italian – and Schilder provides a very useful genealogical stemma of its influence.
The core of this third volume is a detailed description of the two versions of the Blaeu wall map (1619 and 1645/46). Sources used for iconography as well as geography are presented. Between Willem Blaeu’s version of 1619 and Joan Blaeu’s second edition (1645/46). there were key discoveries and advances in geographical knowledge: the fictitious northwest coast of America is omitted, and the results of Abel Tasman’s two voyages (1642-43 and 1644) in Australia and New Zealand – as well as those of his predecessors – have been included. But not all the geographical changes to the map were ‘progressive:’ the representation of California as an island in the second version appears alongside the more timely representation of the momentous explorations in the southern hemisphere. Nor should the power of decoration in the market place he underemphasized. as Schilder’s lengthy general excursion into the development of decorative borders on Dutch wall maps before 1619 demonstrates: after the Peace of Munster, which ended the Thirty Years’ War and changed many national boundaries and names, Joan Blaeu put out an entirely new map of the world on 21 copper plates in 1648, but demand for the geographically obsolete 1645-46 map continued simply because the 1648 map did not have decorative borders.

Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica VI (2000)
Dutch folio-sized single sheet maps with decorative borders, 1604-60

Full description and contents here

The sixth volume attention is focused on maps with decorative borders published in Amsterdam since the end of the 16th century. The production of Amsterdam publishers was surprisingly abundant and diverse. Special products were the single-sheet maps in folio-size with decorative borders, which were published for the world, the four continents~ and various European countries and regions. The map decoration was relegated to the map borders in order not to detract from the actual contents of the map. A more rigorous approach was developed, in which the decorative elements were related directly to the map area involved. Town plans and views, combined with costumed figures of natives characteristic for the map area, were the most sought after subject matter for the decorative borders. It is noteworthy that publishers, even though that they could call upon a large stock of existing prints, still specially commissioned well-known artists to produce new designs.
The center part of volume VI will be formed by an illustrated descriptive catalogue of all Dutch single-sheet maps with decorative borders. In this cartobibliography the history of each copperplate in its different states will be described (c. 120 prototypes in about 350 states). Attention will be paid to both art-historical and geographical aspects. A selection will be published in full scale reproduction.

This volume will be the result of a cooperative effort by prof. G¨nter Schilder and prof. Klaus Stopp.


Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica VII (2003)
Cornelis Claesz (c. 1551-1609): Stimulator and driving force of Dutch cartography

Table of contents and list of facsimiles here

This volume is devoted entirely to the work of Cornelis Claesz (c. 1551-1609), who at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century was the greatest Amsterdam publisher. In those years Claesz was the driving force behind publications in the field of cartography, description of foreigh lands, seaborne naviation and books on the outcome of Dutch voyages of discovery and trade missions into all parts of teh globe. The entrepeneurship and aptitude in trade, is indeed well reflected in he astounding array of maps, atlases and travel-histories, he had on offer.
Nearly all the maps and charts mentioned in Claesz’s Const ende Caert-Register (Art and Map-inventory list) of 1609 have been located by the author. The emphasis of this volume relates to the central role of Cornelis Claesz in the supply of maritime and geographical know-how and its dissemination through his multi-faceted publications in the period of 1580 till 1610. In accordance with the aims of the research project as a whole, special attention is paid to the loose-leaf maps marketed by Cornelis Claesz, their analysis and description. They have been arranged by subject; their context is historically justified, their sequence allows to trace their development. These loose maps were particularly vulnerable and on occasion only a few have survived.
The core of this volume offers detailed descriptions and full-sized facsimiles of the 8-sheet wall maps of the four continents along with the earliest sea charts which provide a virtually complete summary of the cartography of the whole world and form the oldest series of printed Dutch charts showing seas and coastlines outside Europe, and of a set of very scarce maps of different European countries.

Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) and Petrus Kaerius (1571- after 1646)

Table of contents and list of facsimiles here

The maps and charts, published separately by Jodocus Hondius (1653-1612) and Petrus Kaerius (Pieter van den Keere) (1571-after 1646) are the subject of this volume. Both were renowned engravers, mapmakers and publishers, who had a decisive influence on development of cartography in Amsterdam. Their lives and cartographic works have been discussed in detail. A selection of the maps have been reproduced at full scale. From Hondius’ production, e.g. a hitherto unknown eight-sheet wall map of the world on Mercator’s projection (1596), the wall maps of the continents (1598), France (c. 1600), the British Isles (1604) and the Seventeen Provinces (1593 and 1602). From Kaerius’ hand, e.g. the wall map of the world in four sheets (1609), the Seventeen Provinces of 1607 (1612) in twelve sheets and of Germania (1611) in seven sheets. Also an illustrated cartobibliography of Kaerius’ separately folio-sized maps has been published in an appendix.


Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica IX (2013)
Hessel Gerritsz., Master engraver and Map maker, who ‘ruled’ the sea

This volume focuses exclusively on the work of Hessel Gerritsz. (c. 1581-1632), who ranks among the most important and infl uential cartographers of the early-seventeenth-century Amsterdam. He started his career in Willem Jansz. Blaeu’s workshop. About 1608 he established himself as an independent engraver, mapmaker and printer. A selection of his maps has been described and reproduced in full size, e.g. the wall maps of Lithuania (1613), Spain (1612), Italy (1617) and Northern Europe (1635), but also his folio-sized maps of Russia (1613 and 1614), Moscow and Kremlin. His position as chart-maker of the Dutch East – and West India Company is discussed in detail. Hessel Gerritsz. received important geographical and cartographical information which enabled him to publish noteworthy works such as the Beschrijvinghe vander Samoyeden Landt (1612/1613) and the Histoire du Pays nomme Spitsberghe (1613).
