Description:
|
A native of Holland who had settled in Scotland in 1669, John Slezer became an ordnance engineer. In 1688 he was appointed captain of artillery by the Scottish Parliament. Slezer had a passion for historic buildings, and is best remembered for his Theatrum Scotiae (London, 1693), a monumental set of engravings of Scottish cities, with texts by Sir Robert Sibbald, which are still regarded as primary historical sources.
