Jacob ben Abraham Tsaddik

16th Century

Jacob ben Abraham Tsaddik (also known as Jacob Justo) was a Jewish merchant who moved from Hamburg to Amsterdam sometime around 1579. He had an unsavory reputation and apparently spent one year in prison for the crime of domestic violence. He is known today for creating the first printed map of the Holy Land in Hebrew.
