Doetechum, Baptist van
Note
Copper engraving broadside time chart, showing a diagram with the years of reign of the most important monarchs in world history, with letters and numbers to identify them, from the Assyrian rulers to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II of Habsburg (1552 - 1612), with text in Latin and Dutch language. Engraved by Baptist van Doetechum and printed by Franciscus van den Hoeye. This time table was issued in Amsterdam circa.1600-1606 and is derived from the one that appeared in Michael Eytzinger's book "Pentaplus regnorum inundi." The circular table is surrounded by notes and mannerist strapwork that enclose vignettes depicting mementos of time, such as hour glasses. The dating as 1600-1606 is due to the fact that Baptist van Doetecum lived in Amsterdam only during these years. It's thought that during that time he arranged for the Printer Frans van den Hoeye to print his time chart.
