>I seem to have to correct Dutch names again. The correct name of this
map-publisher is Anthonie Jacobsz., also Theunis Jacobsz. (Anthonie and
Theunis are both Dutch forms for the saint's name Antonius). He is born in
1606 or 1607 and died 1650, so it is quite unlikely the map dates from 1621.
Also the Dutch text shows some errors (your typing errors? or the
lithographer's errors?, f.i. 'beschreyen' = 'beschreven').

>In the preface of the Nieuwe Groote Lootsman's Zeespiegel, published 1679
by Jacob and Casparus Lootsman (Anthonie Jacobsz.'s sons) a catalogue of
maps is included, mentioning the 'West-Indische Kaert'.
