Jean Gramaye was born in 1579.[1]Jean passed away in 1635.[2]
Jean-Baptiste Gramaye (1580-1635), citizen of Antwerp, was a Belgian Jesuit. He became provost of Arnheim and historiographer of the Netherlands. He was charged in 1619 by Philip III of a mission to Morocco in order to defend Spain and the papacy’s interests. During his voyage, sailing from Italy to Spain, he was captured by African pirates who held him prisoner in Alger, and freed him against ransom on October 16th, 1619. This travel and this experience gave him material for this important description of Africa that is still a reference nowadays. It is the History of Africa since the Ancient times until the 17th century. Whereas History predominates, there are very good details about geography.[3]
