Jan Evertsen Cloppenburgh
Jan Evertsen Cloppenburgh Jr (1571 – 1648) was a Dutch publisher active in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age.
Cloppenburgh was born in Ruinen, Drenthe, but he was already in 1589 working as a bookbinder in Amsterdam, where he married Annetje Pieters in 1597.[1] He had an older brother with the same name (hence "Jr.") who became a publisher in Deventer.[1] Cloppenburgh published many works, mostly of strict Reformed nature,[1] including Johan de Brune's Emblemata of Zinne-werck.[2] He was buried in the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam on 3 October 1648.[1]
