HONDIUS, JODOCUS
After Ortelius' death, JOCODUS HONDIUS (1563-1611) continued his work. Hondius was a graphic artist and map publisher. He spent ten years in London where he was producing globe models. Around 1593/94 he went back to Amsterdam. In 1604 he bought Mercator's engraving plates, and in 1606 he finished his work on the first enlarged edition of the Atlas of Mercator to which he added 36 new maps. Until 1611 he published five more editions of this atlas (In 1607 the atlas was edited in Latin and in French, in 1608 in French and in 1611 in Latin). HENRICUS HONDIUS (1587-1637) succeded Jacodus Hondius and continued to publish Mercator-Hondius atlases.
