Hondius
Family of engravers, cartographers and publishers
in Amsterdam. Jodocus Hondius (1563 - 1612)
aquired the plates for the Mercator atlas 1604,
which he reissued - with texts by his brother-in-law
Petrus Montanus - in a new enlarged edition
(published by H. Hondius till 1641). His sons
Jodocus Hondius jun. (1594 - 1629) and Henricus
Hondius (1597 - 1651) took over the firm, continued
by Henricus Hondius together with his brother-in-law
J. Janssonius from 1630 on.
