Peter Scheymaker, a Dutch Anabaptist from Baambrugge, province of Utrecht, was in November 1533 one of the twelve "apostles" sent forth by Jan Matthijsz van Haarlem. He is identical with Pieter Boekebinder, who is said to have preached "everywhere in Brabant and Münster." There is no further information on him.
