Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was a parisian Huguenot pastor. 

His famous work is the "Atlas Historique", published in seven volumes. Originally published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720 by L'Honoré et Châtelain, L'Atlas Historique was corrected, increased and republished until 1739, the date of the fourth and last edition. 

This encyclopedic work explains the history and the genealogy of the continents, with the geography, cosmography, topography, heraldry, and ethnography. 

The text is from Nicolas Gueudeville, a French geographer.

Henri Chatelain represents the golden age of French cartography.
