== History ==
Lemniscaat was founded in 1963 by Jean Louis and Marijke Boele van Hensbroek.[{{cite web|url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2013/11/30/ze-vond-dat-kinderen-de-mooiste-boeken-verdienen-1319942-a711078|title=Ze vond dat kinderen de mooiste boeken verdienen|date=30 November 2013|publisher=NRC|accessdate=27 April 2019|archive-date=27 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190427202556/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2013/11/30/ze-vond-dat-kinderen-de-mooiste-boeken-verdienen-1319942-a711078|language=Dutch|first=Thomas|last=de Veen}}] {{As of|2019|alt=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](/source/Jan_Terlouw), [Thea Beckman](/source/Thea_Beckman), [Ingrid Schubert](/source/Ingrid_Schubert_(author)), [Dieter Schubert](/source/Dieter_Schubert_(author)), [Lieneke Dijkzeul](/source/Lieneke_Dijkzeul) and [Anke Kranendonk](/source/Anke_Kranendonk). The company has also worked with many illustrators, including [Jan Jutte](/source/Jan_Jutte), [Alice Hoogstad](/source/Alice_Hoogstad), [Charlotte Dematons](/source/Charlotte_Dematons) and [Marije Tolman](/source/Marije_Tolman).
In 2007, the company started to republish [Paul Biegel](/source/Paul_Biegel)'s work but with new illustrations that the company paid for.[{{cite web|url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2012/12/06/uitgever-in-conflict-met-erfgename-paul-biegel-a1468465|title=Uitgever in conflict met erfgename Paul Biegel|date=6 December 2012|publisher=NRC|accessdate=27 April 2019|archive-date=27 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190427205144/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2012/12/06/uitgever-in-conflict-met-erfgename-paul-biegel-a1468465|language=Dutch|first=Thomas|last=de Veen}}] As a result, Lemniscaat had to pay a lower amount of [royalties](/source/Royalty_payment) to Leonie Biegel, Biegel's daughter.
