Le Clerc, Jean
Jean Le Clerc (1560 - 1621) was a French bookseller, engraver, and publisher active in Paris during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Le Clerc, along with Maruice Bouguereau pubslihed the 1594 Theatre Geographique du Royaume de France, was subsequently republished in several editions. Le Clerc also commissioned the Dutch cartographer Jodocus Hondius to compile a world map and several continent maps to accompany later editions of the atlas. The Theatre Geographique du Royaume de France was issued in 1620, 1621, 1622, 1626, and 1631. Most editions were published posthumously Jean Boisseau, who acquired the map plates from Le Clerc's widow. Most likely there was also an unrecorded 1633 issue. Le Clerc should not be confused with another publisher and biblical scholar of the same name active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
