Jacob Abrahamsz.
Dissius (1653 - 1695) was a Dutch typographer and printer.
He is most notable as an art collector and for his links to Johannes Vermeer - his collection included 21 Vermeer works (including The Milkmaid, Portrait of a Young Woman, A Girl Asleep, Woman Holding a Balance and The Music Lesson) and in 1680 he married Madgdalene, daughter and sole heir of Vermeer's main patron Pieter van Ruijven.
Dissius died in 1695 and his collection was auctioned off in Amsterdam the following year.
