Pieter van der Aa
Pieter van der Aa (
Leiden, 1659 – Leiden, August 1733) was a Dutch
publisher best known for preparing
maps and
atlases, though he also printed
pirated editions of foreign bestsellers and illustrated volumes. He also printed many maps that were often out of print, which he reissued. Some of his most popular maps were of the
African
continent, detailing locations such as
Morocco and
Madagascar. Many of his later works were printed for the general public in
French and
Dutch.
