History[]

Lemniscaat was founded in 1963 by Jean Louis and Marijke Boele van Hensbroek.^[1] The company is currently run by their son Jean Christophe Boele van Hensbroek.

Many Dutch children's authors have had their work published by Lemniscaat, including Jan Terlouw, Thea Beckman, , , and . The company has also worked with many illustrators, including Jan Jutte, , and Marije Tolman.

In 2007, the company started to republish Paul Biegel's work but with new illustrations that the company paid for.^[2] As a result Lemniscaat had to pay a lower amount of royalties to Leonie Biegel, Biegel's daughter.^[2] In 2012, Lemniscaat filed a preliminary injunction against Biegel's daughter who intended to move her father's work to another publishing house.^[2]
