Abstract:

This collection contains georeferenced raster images (in GeoTIFF format) of the 'Gewestkaarten' (Regional maps) associated with Jacob van Deventer.<br><br> The georeferencing has been accomplished by linking hundreds of locality-pointers in the maps to the respective church towers. Using these pointers, the maps were distorted using Thin Plate Spline (Transformation method) / Nearest Neighbour (Resampling method). <br>Some regional maps, like the map of the County of Zeeland and surroundings, are so well executed that this method works really well without distorting the raster image too much. The map of the Duchy of Brabant (the oldest 'Gewestkaart' by Jacob van Deventer), is much less precise (with substantial intraregional differences). Only around half of the Brabant localities could be used as pointers in georeferencing in order to keep the distortion at an acceptable level.<br><br> The maps included in the dataset are: <ul> <li>Jacob Bos, <em>Flandriae recens exactaque descriptio</em> (Rome: Michaelis Tramezini 1555).
