CHÂTELAINE, ZACHARIE; CHÂTELAINE, HENRI ABRAHAM AND CHÂTELAINE, ZACHARIE JR.
Zacharie, an Amsterdam bookseller/publisher, was the founder. His sons Henri Abraham and Zacharie Jr. are best known for compiling (using primarily maps by Delisle) and publishing their seven-volume “Atlas Historique” under a variety of imprints from 1705–1739. (A 2010 article by Jan W. van Waning in IMCoS # 120 credits Zachairie, rather than Henri as the primary compiler. The specific information about Volume IV is from that article.) Of primary interest to this site are Châtelaine maps of Poland from that atlas. Most of the claimed publish dates for their “NOUVELLE CARTE DU ROYAUME DE POLOGNE…” with its list of “Palatinats” and for “CARTE DE POLOGNE AVEC LA CHRONOLOGIE DES ROIS ET DES DUCS DE LITHUANIE…” with its genealogies, are suspect.
The only volume of “Atlas Historique” with a map of Poland was IV: its publishing history:
