Jan Huygen van Linschoten (1563 – 8 February 1611) was a Dutch merchant, trader, and historian who traveled extensively through the East Indies under Portuguese influence and served six years as bookkeeper for the Archbishop of Goa (1583-89). He is credited with publishing important classified information about Asian trade and navigation that the Portuguese kept as closely guarded trade secrets.
In 1596, Linschoten published his Itinerario (later published in English as Discours of Voyages into Ye East & West Indies), which graphically displayed, for the first time in Europe, detailed maps of voyages to the East Indies, particularly the Indian Subcontinent.
