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'. > >A search with gopher in a few libraries for O'Callaghan gave this result in Harvard University Library (I list here only the two titles with facsimiles): > >HOLLIS#: HU ALW3586 >YEAR: 1846 >AUTHOR: O'Callaghan, E.
