e/Abraham Gorlaeus

Information
has gloss	eng: Abraham Gorlaeus (Abraham van Goorle) (1549 — 1608) was a Flemish antiquary whose publication of engraved gems in his Cabinet of curiosities, Dactiliotheca (Antwerp, 1609) was the first published extensive repertory of Greco-Roman intaglio gems, which had been avidly collected for the previous century, at first in Italy. In 1609, his cabinet was purchased on behalf of Henry, Prince of Wales, an isolated early example of English interest in engraved gems. Gorlaeus' Dactyliotheca remained useful for the rest of the century; it was republished by Jakob Gronovius in 1695, as part of his Thesaurus antiquitatum Graecarum. and in this form was reprinted as late as 1645.
