flourished 1598-1610
Langenes was a publisher in Middelburg about whom little is known
except that he was probably the author of the text and publisher of the
first edition of a very well known miniature atlas, the Caert Thresoor.
After an uneasy start - some maps were missing from the first edition -
the atlas acquired new life in Amsterdam with a re-written text and
eventually with re-engraved maps which prolonged its use and popularity
for about half a century.
