Life

Cnobbaert was born in Antwerp in 1590. He married Maria de Man.^[1] In 1623 he was registered as living next to the 'Huys der Professen vande Societeyt IESV, in S. Peeter' in Antwerp.^[2] After he died in Antwerp on 14 September 1637 his widow Maria continued the business as "Widow of Jan Cnobbaert" ('Vidua Cnobbaert' or 'Veuve Cnobbaert').^[1][2] The printer Michiel Cnobbaert or Knobbaert who was active at the same address in the 1660s and early 1670s was probably a relative (possibly a son).^[1][3]

In 1642 his daughter, Jacoba Maria, married the artist Jan Thomas van Ieperen.^[4]
