Gerardus Maatschoen (d. 1751) was an apothecary and in 1726-1750 the preacher of the Zonist Mennonite congregation in Amsterdam. He is known for his Dutch translation of the Historia Christianorum, qui in Belgio Foederatione inter Protestantes Mennonitae appellantur (2 vols., 1723 and 1739) by Herman Schijn, his friend and colleague. The translation—a previous one had been made by Matdiys van Maurik—he completed with the addition of the foreword, notes, illustrations, and a third volume (Amsterdam, 1743-1745). The title of Maatschoen's translation read: Geschiedenis dier Christenen welke in de Vereenigde Nederlanden onder de Protestanten Mennoniten genaamt worden, and the third volume, composed by Maatschoen himself, was entitled Aanhangzel, Dienende tot een Vervolg of Derde Deel van de Geschiedenisse der Mennoniten; this contained 19 additional biographies and bibliographies of outstanding Dutch Mennonite ministers. Maatschoen also published Eeuwigdurende Gedagtenis der Rechtvaardigen (Amsterdam, 1728), a funeral sermon for Herman Schijn, and Lyk-reden op Dirk Cornelisz (Amsterdam, n.d.-1741). Maatschoen was attacked by G. van Hemert in Brief aan G. Maatschoen (Middelburg, 1744), in which this Reformed pastor censured Maatschoen for denying the descent of the Mennonites from the Münsterites. The catalog of his library, "containing 278 pages," is evidence that he knew Mennonite history.
