MARTINAYS, Edouard Simon (mar-tee-nay'), Flemish author, born in Bruges in 1789; died in Mechlin in 1796. He began life as a clerk in a mercantile house, and in 1761 was sent to Buenos Ayres to establish an agency. Having acquired a large fortune, he began to travel in 1779 through South America, and, returning to Europe in 1784, fixed his residence in Mechlin. He devoted the remainder of his life to literature and published guides for the use of European merchants trading with South America. Among his works are " Histoire des etats limitrophes du Rio de la Plata, etudies au point de vue commercial et des ressources qu'ils offrent aux marchands Europeens " (2 vols., Brussels, 1789), and " L'Amerique du Sud, etudiee au point de rue de debouche du commerce des pays soumis a la domination de la maison d'Autriche" (Mechlin, 1791).
