New Mediterranean map by Johannes I Van Keulen that appears for the first time in the Dutch edition of De Nieuwe Groote Lichtende Zee-Fakel. This is one of the eight new charts added to the original 17 of the first edition of 1682. Koeman claims that, although the title page of the collection bears the - incomplete - date [169], the added charts were made after 1704, as would be shown the scene of a naval battle reported above one of the nautical charts. Furthermore, the metric scale in Italian miles is added to all nautical charts, already present in the Italian version of the Zee-Fakel, published in 1705 with the title of Nuova, E Grande Illuminante Face del Mare (see Koeman, AN, IV, p 346, Keu 108).

Johannes VAN KEULEN (1654 - 1715)
|
The Van Keulen dynasty of publishers, printers, booksellers, and cartographers produced the most comprehensive and up-to-date Dutch nautical atlases. Johannes van Keulen (1654–1715) founded a book and instrument business in Amsterdam in 1678 and in 1680 obtained the privilege of printing nautical guides and atlases from Holland and West Friesland. His first major work was the Nieuwe Lichtende Zee-Fakkel, illustrated by Jan Luyken, with maps drawn by Claes Jansz Vooght; five volumes were published between 1681 and 1684. Van Keulen also produced a Zee-Atlas ofte Water-werelt. The Van Keulen family continued to operate for nearly two centuries; Gerard (1678 - 1726) produced new editions of his father's works, numerous manuscript maps, and was appointed hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1706; his son Jan II van Keulen (1704 - 1770) took over the business in 1726 and published a new edition of the Asiatic volume of the Zee-Atlas; he was appointed cartographer to the VOC in 1743. After Jan II's death, his sons Cornelis Buijs and Gerard Hulst van Keulen ran the family business. Gerard (1733 - 1801) added a further volume to the Zee-Fakkel containing East India material derived from the VOC. Gerard, in addition to publishing the first nautical almanac in Dutch in 1788, was one of the three original members of the commission established by the Dutch government in 1787 to solve the problem of finding longitude at sea. Gerard's son, Jan III, was the last van Keulen to run the company.
