16. Peter Coeck

Born at Alost in Flanders, about the beginning of the 16th Century, was the disciple of Bernard de Bruxels under whom he profited exceedingly: Went into Turkey with some Mer∣chants where he ventured against the Laws of that Countrey, which forbids Images to draw several pieces expressing the manners and customes of the Turks in their Mariages, Burials, solemn Feasts, the Marching and incamping of their Armies, all very pleasant to behold; after his return from Turkey he writ and published some curious Books of Architecture, Geometry, and Perspective, and translated Sebastio Serli out of Italian.
