	Encyclopedia: Cornelis de Houtman
		Cornelis de Houtman (April 2, 1565 - August 1599), brother of Frederick de Houtman, was a Dutch explorer who discovered a new sea route from Europe to Indonesia and managed to begin the Dutch spice trade.
		In 1592 Cornelis de Houtman was sent by Amsterdam merchants sent to Lisbon (Lissabon) to discover as much information on the Spice Islands as he could.
		In Madura, they were received peacefully, but de Houtman ordered his men to brutally attack and rape the civilian population in revenge for the unrelated earlier piracy.

		De Houtman’s catalogue of southern stars, divided into the same 12 constellations as Keyser’s, was used by the Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu for his celestial globes from 1603 onwards.
		In his Introduction to the dictionary, de Houtman claimed to have made some observations of the southern stars on his first voyage in 1595–97, and to have revised and increased the number on his second voyage, 1598–1602.

		The Dutch fleet in which Keyser sailed was commanded by the explorer Cornelis de Houtman; among the crew was his younger brother Frederick de Houtman (1571–1627) who apparently assisted Keyser in his observations.
		De Houtman increased Keyser’s 135 measured star positions to 303, although 107 of these were stars already known to Ptolemy, according to a study of the catalogue by the English astronomer E. Knobel.
		Whereas Keyser and de Houtman had mostly named their constellations after exotic animals, Lacaille commemorated instruments of science and art, with the exception of Mensa, named after the Table Mountain under which he had carried out his observations.

		One of the southern constellations devised by the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman at the end of the 16th century.
		In his catalogue of 1603 de Houtman called it Den Indiaenschen Exster, op Indies Lang ghenaemt (“the Indian magpie, named Lang in the Indies”, the word “lang” referring to the bird’s long beak).

		Portuguese Empire held a monopoly on the spice trade, and the voyage was a symbolic victory for the Dutch, even though the voyage itself was a disaster.
		The local Portuguese traders introduced de Houtman to the Banten sultan, who promptly entered into an optomistic treaty with the Dutch, writing "We are well content to have a permanent league of alliance and friendship with His Highness the Prince
		Maurice of Nassau, of the Netherlands and with you, gentlemen." Unfortunately, de Houtman was undiplomatic and insulting to the sultan, and was turned away for "rude behaviour" without being able to buy any spices at all.

	Constellation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But Renaisance star catalogs by Johann Bayer and John Flamsteed required every star to be in a constellation, and the number of visible stars in a constellation to be manageably small.
		Twelve of the constellations in the southern celestial hemisphere were not observable by the Greeks, and were created by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman in the sixteenth century and first cataloged by Johann Bayer.
		Other proposed constellations didn't make the cut, most notably Quadrans Muralis (now part of Boötes) for which the Quadrantid meteors are named.

		Houtman made landfall considerably south of the tracks made by the Eedracht and Zeewulf.
		In fact, Houtman first made land contact somewhat south of present-day Perth, but was unable to make shore due to heavy seas and fully-laden ships with expensive goods.
		Houtman correctly calculated there was an unbroken coastline from his southern contact, northward to the regions previously reported by Hartog and the Zeewulf.

	Plancius, Petrus (1552-1622)
		Keyser died in Java the following year, but his catalogue of 135 stars arranged in 12 new constellations (some perhaps acquired from the myths of local peoples), prepared with the help of explorer-colleague Frederick de Houtman, was delivered to Plancius, who inscribed the new constellations on a globe he prepared in 1598.
		Keyser and de Houtman's constellations are Apus the Bird of Paradise, Chamaeleon, Dorado the Goldfish (or Swordfish), Grus the Crane, Hydrus the Sea Monster, Indus the (American) Indian, Musca the Fly, Pavo the Peacock, Phoenix, Triangulum Australe the Southern Triangle, Tucana the Toucan, and Volans the Flying Fish.
		These constellations, together with three other new ones added by Plancius himself, Camelopardalis, Columba, and Monoceros, were then incorporated by Johannes Bayer in his sky atlas, the Uranometria, in 1603.
