From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Matthias Quad (1557–1613) was an engraver and cartographer from Cologne.
Matthias Quad was born and learnt engraving in the Netherlands. An engraver in wood and stone,[1] Quad collaborated with the Cologine publisher Johann Bussemacher to publish a quarto atlas of Europe in 1592.[2] This was expanded into a Geographisches Handtbuch (1599), with more text than maps, and then into a proper atlas, Fasciculus Geographicus (1608).[1]
