Printer and publisher, also known as “Lootsman” (Pilot), issued in 1643 De Lichtende
Columne ofte Zee-Spiegel. As with other Dutch cartographers, there were many
subsequent editions and alternative languages entitled Le Grand & Nouveau Miroir
ou Flambeau de la Mer and The Lightening Column or Sea Mirrour When he died
in 1650 the plates were transferred to Pieter Goos who continued to publish the
Atlas under the same title. Theunis Jacobsz`s widow and son later produced a
new pilot-guide entitled Niewe en Vergroote Zee Boeck (1652-4) but by 1654 a new
version of the Zee-Spiegel was ready, with new plates. Finally his sons produced
the Niewe Water-Wereld ofte Zee Atlas in 1666 with only one Irish chart, similar to
those of Doncker and Goos.
