One of his notable works is the "Haemisphaeriorum Tabula Carthesiana," which translates to the "Cartesian Hemisphere Map."

The "Haemisphaeriorum Tabula Carthesiana" was a celestial map depicting the northern and southern hemispheres of the Earth, based on the Cartesian coordinate system. It was published in Amsterdam in the year 1700.
