  Henricus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Citie of Henricus", also known as Henricopolis or Henrico Town, was a city founded by Sir Thomas Dale in 1611 as an alternative to the swampy and dangerous area around Jamestown Settlement, Virginia.
Henricus was the second successful English city in the New World and was located on the James River, just a few miles southeast of the current city of Richmond, Virginia, but at the time, one of the westernmost outlying developments from the Colony's fortified capital at Jamestown.
Henricus Historical Park is located within the 810-acre Dutch Gap Conservation Area, portions of which were the site of major Revolutionary and Civil War action.

 Uncovering Henricus — Henrico Citizen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In 1985, with the establishment of The Henricus Foundation, the “Citie of Firsts” began the mighty stretch that marked its emergence from that slumber.
Henricus’ high bluff overlooking the river appealed to the new arrivals, said Morey, not only for its easier defensibility but because “they knew people on hilltops were healthier than people in low areas.”
Among the corporate benefactors of Henricus is Philip Morris USA, which in May 2000 lent 500 of its employees to the effort to develop the park’s first pathways and exhibit areas.

 On Allegory: Vizma Belsevica's Poem 'The Notations of Henricus de Lettis in the Margins of the Livonian Chronicle' - ...
Vizma Belševica's "The Notations of Henricus de Lettis in the Margins of the Livonian Chronicle" is only one of the many historical poems that have come out of Riga in the course of the last few years.
In the poem itself, in the light of the juxtaposed passages quoted from the chronicle, Henricus could rather be identified as a Liv, a native of the Finno-Ugric tribe that inhabited the very shoreline of the Gulf of Riga and was the first one in the Baltic area to be attacked by the invading Germans.
The "grave of fire" is evoked in the notations after Henricus has confessed that in his dreams "Courish boats sail down to Riga." This is unmistakably in reference to the unsuccessful attempt by the Kurs (Couronians) in 1210 to capture Riga, described at length in Chapter XIV of the chronicle.

 The Library of Congress Shop > Prints, Photographs > Framed Images > MW) Henricus Hondius World Map
One of the most important figures of the Dutch Golden Age of Cartography, Henricus (Hendrick) Hondius (1597-1651) was the younger son of mapmaker Jodocus Hondius Sr.
Employing the Mercator projection and depicting the world in two hemispheres, this colorful map is embellished with iconography representing the four elements (fire, air, water, and land), as well as with portraits of Julius Caesar, 2nd-century geographer Claudius Ptolemy, and the atlas's first two publishers: Mercator and Jodocus Hondius.
Henricus Hondius issued the last edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas under his imprint in 1641.

 Wessling Descendancy - Gen 0
Confusing matters slightly is the possibility that a Henricus Wesselinck was married around 1673 and in 1674 a son, Joannes, was born in Estringen and christened at Lingen.
If he were the brother of Henricus Wesselink, who had been married to Johanna Over, then we would have another example of the siblings from one family marrying the siblings of another.
With that possibility in mind, assign an equal probability that Joes Wesselinck was the father of Hermannus Wesselinck, who was married in 1728, as well as a sponsor for the child of Hermannus who was born in 1730.

Henricus established the first English hospital, chartered the first college in the New World, and gave birth to a successful economy, founded on the growth and exportation of tobacco.
Henricus was under martial law in 1611 and everyone had to learn how to defend the town and trust one another, Bonnie said.
Henricus' story is one of progress, of growing valuable crops like tobacco and food, cultivating vineyards to support a university, and chartering the first library.

 Jan Jacobus Frederik Maria Bos: The Correspondence between Descartes and Henricus Regius
The Correspondence between Descartes and Henricus Regius / Jan Jacobus Frederik Maria Bos - [S.l.] : [s.n.], 2002 - Tekst.
In 1638 the Dutch philosopher and physician Henricus Regius (1598-1679) introduced himself to René Descartes (1596-1650), allegedly because he owed his appointment as professor of theoretical medicine at Utrecht University to his being a Cartesian.
Finally, the use of the many available sources, both published and unpublished, has resulted in a comprehensive historical annotation, conspicuously absent in AT, on the specific Dutch and especially Utrecht context of the relation between Regius and Descartes.

There are few certainties in the historical records of the great composers of the sixteenth century,  and the historical accounts of Henricus Isaac are no exception.
  One certainty is that Henricus Isaac was a master composer who made a name for himself among such contemporaries as Obrecht, Ockegham and Josquin.
Although the details of Henricus Isaac’s life are still in debate scholars guess his date of birth to be around 1450.

 St. John's Episcopal Church - Richmond, Virginia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In 1611 Sir Thomas Dale, high marshal of Virginia, pushed up the James River from the original settlement at Jamestown and founded Henricus in honor of Prince Henry, eldest son of James I. Accompanying Thomas Dale on this expedition was the Reverend Alexander Whittaker.
Together they decided that the construction of a church would take precedence over other buildings, and so the first church in Henricus was built near the site of the present Dutch Gap Canal.
Fifteen years later in 1634 the Virginia Colony was divided into shires in the English fashion and Henricus was shortened to Henrico.

 South America on ancient, medieval and Renaissance maps - Henricus Martellus's map - By Nito Verdera
This map dates from 1489, several years before Christopher Columbus's first voyages, and is kept in the British Library in London (68 verso and 69 recto of the Add Ms 15760).
In addition, we have already seen how Henricus Martellus's map shows Lake Titicaca and the present-day Punta Coles and so there is also a bend on the coast, though not quite so pronounced, as he had used a different projection.
However, we should not be too surprised: ‘Young rebels are open to change, while the old are not prepared to question ‘scientific truths' in which they have believed all their lives' (Paul Gallez, Predescubrimientos de América, p.

 Slide #256 Monograph
DESCRIPTION: Henricus Martellus was the one mapmaker who linked the late medieval cartography, just emerging from social, religious, academic and technological constraints, to mapping that reflected the Renaissance and the new discoveries.
This world map is utterly without the amount of adornment typical of earlier maps of this period, i.e., princes, castles, animals, etc. (the only remanents are some castellated towns in Asia).
Signora Carla Marzoli of Milan, in a private communication, stated that this large map 'had left Italy into the possession of family centuries ago and had been lodged in a Swiss bank for safety, for a long time.' In 1959, through trade channels, she learned that this map was for sale.
