Sanderus tells us in his Sanderus Apologidion that the biggest inspiration for his Flandria Illustrata was the Theatrum sive Hollandiae Comitatus et urbium nova descriptio Marcus Zuerius Boxhornius (Boxhorn Nl), which in 1632 was published by the Amsterdam publisher and engraver Henricus Hondius.
Hendrik Hondius I (1573 –1650), born in Duffel, worked in The Hague, known for his Pictorum aliquot celebrium praecipue Germaniae Inferioris effigies, Hagae Comitis, 1610

In the 1630s he formed a partnership with his brother in law Henricus Hondius, and together they published atlases as Mercator/Hondius/Janssonius.
