Jean-Baptiste Gramaye
Jean-Baptiste Gramaye (Antwerp, 1579 - Lübeck, 1635) was an early modern historian of the Southern Netherlands.
He studied law and became a professor at Leuven University. Later he was employed as court historian by Albert VII, Archduke of Austria. For five months in 1619 he was a prisoner in Barbary, an experience that changed the focus of his scholarship from the Low Countries to Africa.
