Germania Inferior
Pieter van den Keere (Latin: Peter Kaerius 1571 – c.1646) was a Dutch engraver, publisher and globe maker. He was born in Ghent, and in 1584 moved with his family for religious reasons to London. There he received training as an engraver from Jodocus Hondius, his brother-in-law. In 1593 both Keere and Hondius settled at Amsterdam. Around 1604 he was preparing the publication of the atlas Germania Inferior id est Provincuarum XVII. This first appeared in 1617.
