Joachim Trognaesius, sometimes Trognesius or Trogney (died 23 June 1624), was a printer and bookseller in late-16th-century and early-17th-century Antwerp.
Life
Joachim Trognaesius is first mentioned as a bookseller in the accounts of the Plantin Office in 1586 and of the Chamber of Rhetoric the Violieren in 1588.[1]
As a printer he produced works in Dutch, French, Italian, English and Latin, including history books, devotional works, classical texts and almanacs. There was a particular prevalence of Jesuit works among his output. He was also, together with his son Alexander, alleged to be a purveyor of illustrated editions of the pornographic sonnets of Pietro Aretino.[2] He had commercial links with the geographer Abraham Ortelius.[3]
He died on 23 June 1624. His business, on the churchyard of Antwerp Cathedral, was continued by his son, Caesar Joachim Trognaesius (born 1590), who was also a designer of calligraphic type.[4]
