Franciscus Plante ( 1613 - 1690 ) was a Dutch poet and Chaplain . In 1647 , he wrote a work called ''Mauritias'' (in Portuguese , ''Mauritiados''), which praises the leadership of John Maurice Of Nassau (Johan Maurits) at the Dutch Colony In Brazil . Plante had served as John Maurice's chaplain. It was published in Amsterdam , and included twenty engravings that had already appeared in a work by Caspar Barlaeus , which had been published in the same year. Four maps ('' Ceará '', '' Pernambuco '', '' Paraíba '', and ''Pernambuco Borealá'') and a Portrait of John Maurice were also incorporated from Barlaeus’ work. Plante later wrote Barlaeus' obituary in 1648 . SOURCES |
