Jode, Gerard de - Gastaldi, GiacomoAfricae ut terra mariq[ue], lustrata est, propiissima ac verè genuina descriptio, observatis ad unguem gradibus longitudinis et latitudinis. [Antwerp: Gerarde de Jode, c.1573]. 405 x 520mm., Latin text on verso, First or Intermediate State with Latin text on verso but without the addition of "Cum privilegio" in the title cartouche, engraved map hand-coloured in outline, two small holes close to central fold with very slight loss, slightly discoloured/spotted, hole in lower margin, top right corner of margin renewedProvenance: Bartholomew Family, Mapmakers and Geographers, EdinburghNote: "This is an exceedingly rare, folio-size map of Africa by Gerard de Jode. It is clearly based on the famous eight sheet Giacomo Gastaldi wall map of Africa of 1564. Within the title, De Jode recognises Gastaldi as the author of this work ("Autore M. Iacobo Castoldo"). As De Jode was represented at the important Frankfurt Book Fair where he bought and sold maps, he possibly obtained a copy of the Gastaldi wall map of Africa during one of these fairs. Other than reducing Gastaldi`s heavily detailed, eight-sheet map to one folio-sized map, thus omitting numerous text passages and place names, the basic outline for Africa and its hydrographical and topographic features are the same.Koeman (1967-71) theorizes that De Jode may have been inspired to issue his own atlas, based on the immediate success of Abraham Ortelius` Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. It is therefore likely that this map of Africa may have been prepared sometime after 1570, but before 1578, with the intention that it would eventually be included in his own atlas pending De Jode`s receipt of a publisher`s privilege intended to prevent unauthorized copying of his maps.Although De Jode attempted to receive a royal privilege starting in about 1573, he was not to be granted his royal privilege until 1577. Prior to 1578, it appears that De Jode printed a number of separate, folio-size maps without text on the verso while he waited for his privilege. It is likely that the second state of De Jode`s map of Africa, with the addition of the "cum privilegio" at the bottom right within the title cartouche below the De Jode imprint, was prepared just before the publication of De Jode`s Speculum Orbis Terrarum in 1578.The map was engraved by Johannes and Lucas van Deutecum (with the imprint at bottom of Ioannes a Deutecum / Lucas a Deutecum / fecerunt.) De Jode`s atlas was not a financial success and no other editions were published. In total, a dozen or so examples of his atlas are said to have survived. Consequently, all maps by Gerard de Jode are quite rare.A revised map of Africa, using a new copperplate, was issued in 1593 by his son, Cornelis. This new map was included in Cornelis De Jode`s atlas of 1593, the Speculum Orbis Terrae.The present map would appear to be an intermediate state between Betz`s 14.1 First state of 1573, and 14.2 Second State 1578 which calls for "cum privilegio" in the title cartouche and Latin text on verso. Betz 14.1; Koeman 1967-71: II, Jod 1 (3)

His work is the greatest single contribution to our knowledge of the vascular system after Harvey. In "La statiques des vegetaux" Hales studied the movement of sap in plants and discovered what is now known as root pressure, and also that plants take carbon dioxide from the air as an essential nutrient. Hales`s work on the analysis of air led to his invention of artificial ventilation. This copy has a cancel title with the imprint of Debure l`aîné.

Inscribed on front endpaper "Hartwell Library, presented by Admiral Sir John Ross" and with a list, signed by Admiral Ross, "of articles in a ? for Doctor Lee", listing various naval logs including this journal. Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire, belonged in 1810 to the Lees, an old Buckinghamshire family. Armorial bookplate of John Lee of Hartwell (1783-1866), with motto `Verum atque decens`. [Property of the Trustees of Lord Gretton]Note: A naval log by an exceptional Scottish surveryor and cartographer. Captain David Ewen Bartholomew, CB (c. 1767 - 1821) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, who rose from a poor background to become a post captain and prominent surveyor and cartographer, and was the first British man to map numerous sections of the South American, Arabian and African coastlines. He was born into a poor family in Linlithgowshire, was press-ganged twice, once at the instigation of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord St. Vincent, served in various naval engagments, and in 1802 was in charge of H.M.S. Romney`s chronometers during a voyage to the Red Sea. Bartholomew`s abilities as a surveyor and cartographer were highly regarded and, later in his career, he conducted important surveys of the Argentine, Persian and West African coasts. Bartholomew was also considered exceptional for his rise from an impressed sailor to post captain at a time when this was almost impossible to achieve.
