Paulus Aertsz van Ravesteyn (c. 1586 – buried 3 November 1655, in Amsterdam) was a Dutch printer who worked for local publishers, individuals and also published books himself. At his May 19, 1608, marriage to Elisabeth Sweerts in Amsterdam he is said to be a 21-year old typesetter from Dordrecht. Possibly he originated from North Brabant where his family owned land. His first own publication dates from 1611.Biography
