Mattheus Smallegange

Mattheus Smallegange (Goes, baptized December 29, 1624 - Goes, January 5, 1710) was a Dutch historian,[1] lawyer,[2] genealogist and translator.

[3][4] In 1651 he traveled through France to further develop his skills in the French and Italian language.

After publishing his Sinnebeeld in honor of Wilhem the III ( 1665 ) he was expelled from the city for a year.

[5] The work is a continuation and summary of the chronicles of Jacobus Eyndius (Chronici Zelandiae) and Johan Reygersberg (Dye Chronijck van Zeelandt).

[5][1] Smallegange was a passionate researcher and collector of historical details, which cost him a lot of time, effort and money.
