Life

Joachim Trognaesius is first mentioned as a bookseller in the accounts of the Plantin Office in 1586 and of the Chamber of Rhetoric the Violieren in 1588. [1]

As a printer he produced works in Dutch, French, Italian, English and Latin, including history books, devotional works, classical texts and almanacs. There was a particular prevalence of Jesuit works among his output. He was also, together with his son Alexander, alleged to be a purveyor of illustrated editions of the pornographic sonnets of Pietro Aretino. [2] He had commercial links with the geographer Abraham Ortelius. [3]

He died on 23 June 1624. His business, on the churchyard of Antwerp Cathedral, was continued by his son, Caesar Joachim Trognaesius (born 1590), who was also a designer of calligraphic type. [4]

When the city of Antwerp had been reconquered for Philip II of Spain in 1585, Protestants had been given four years to settle their affairs and leave or be reconciled to the Catholic Church.

Jan Franco was a physician, mathematician and astronomer who compiled almanacs. He was born in the village of Eersel in the Duchy of Brabant and studied medicine at the University of Leuven. He settled in Brussels to practice medicine and was given the freedom of the city. He was a practicing physician at least until 1594. As he had studied both medicine and mathematics, he was asked to calculate the ephemerides, for purposes of medical astrology. This led to his work as a compiler of almanacs from 1586 to 1611. From 1612 to 1621 Arnout Coninx and his widow were selling almanacs based on Franco's drafts but completed for publication by his son, Jan Franco jr., and by Johannes Regius. At least as late as 1616 almanacs prepared by others were being sold on the strength of their association with Franco.
