Asia by Matthias Quad, published by Johann Bussemacher. 1600
Matthias Quad (Deventer, 1557 – Eppingen, 1613)
Matthias Quad, born in Deventer in 1557, was trained there as an engraver by the Van Deutecum brothers. He also studied with Hendrick Goltzius in Haarlem. Later, he settled in Germany after spending some time in France and England.
He lived in Cologne since 1587, where he met the renowned engraver and mapmaker Frans Hogenberg and the printer and publisher Johann Bussemacher. For the next 15 years, Quad worked closely with Bussemacher, especially in publishing atlases. In 1592, he published a translation of an atlas by Botero, and in the following years, several geographical works followed.
With Bussemacher, he prepared a hand and travel atlas in a small format, for which he primarily focused on engraving. From 1592, they published some editions under the name of Bussemacher without text. In 1594, the Europae … descriptio appeared as an atlas with 50 maps with text by Quad. Bussemacher printed the maps, but the text was printed by Lambert Andreae, with whom Bussemacher often collaborated. In 1600, the Geographisch Handtbuch, a world atlas featuring 82 maps, was published.
From that time on, Quad released a series of Itineraries. The Deliciae Germaniae (1600), the Deliciae Galliae (1600), the Itinearium universae Germaniae (1602), and others on Northern Europe, Italy and Spain.
He spent the last years of his life as a teacher in Eppingen, where he died in 1613.
Johann Bussemacher (florished 1580-1613)
Johann Bussemacher was a German engraver, publisher, printer and art dealer. Beginning in the 17th century, he was the most successful publisher in Cologne.
