Arnoldus Montanus (1625 - 1683)
Montanus was a Dutch teacher and author. He published books on theology, history, and geography of both the Netherlands and far-away countries. Montanus, a Latinised form of van den Berg or van Bergen, was born in Amsterdam and studied theology at Leiden University. He became a minister in Schellingwoude in 1653 and in Schoonhoven in 1667, where he also became headmaster of the Latin School. He died in Schoonhoven. His most famous book is De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld.
