World by Pieter Van der Aa - double hemisphere. 1702
Re-issue of 1660 map by Jacob van Meurs, itself a copy of c.1655 map of Arnold Colom.
Johann Ludwig Gottfried (ca. 1584 - 1633)
For a long time, Gottfried was considered a pseudonym of Johann Philipp Abelin, and his existence was denied.
From 1601, Johann Ludwig Gottfried studied theology in Heidelberg. From 1603 until 1624, he was first employed as a deacon and then as a reformed minister.
Through a Latin retelling of Ovid's Metamorphoses, he came into contact with the de Bry publishers in Oppenheim in 1619. From that moment on, thanks to his versatile language skills and his education, he worked as a valued employee for publishers in Oppenheim and Frankfurt, such as Johann Theodor de Bry, de Bry's nephew Lucas Jennis and de Bry's son-in-law Matthäus Merian the Elder. He provided translations, epigrams, paraphrases, and compilations for many of these publishers' extensive publications. As editor and proofreader, he supervised various publishing projects.
In 1624, he came to Frankfurt as a proofreader. He never completely gave up his spiritual office; from 1625 until the end of his life, he was officially a minister of the Reformed Church in Offenbach. He devoted himself undisturbed to his work as a translator and author for the Frankfurt publishing house (particularly for Merian).
His most extensive work is the Gottfried Chronicle. It was continued after his death by Johann Philipp Abelin in 1634 and remained a widely read historical work until the 18th century.
