Title Pages (Le Monde ou la Description Generalle de ses Quatres Parties…), 1660. 8 x 12.5”. (HC) This title page comes from the well-known history and geography series by Pierre Davity (or d`Avity), sieur de Montmartin, who was a French writer, historian and geographer. After serving in the French military, Davity decided to write an encyclopedia on the history and geography of France, which he later expanded to include all regions of the world. After his death in 1635, Davity`s popular work was republished many times and expanded to six volumes, including this edition with revisions by Jean-Baptiste de Rocoles, published by Denis Bechet and Louis Billaine. This title page features miniature maps of Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, with four male figures representing each of the continents. A French cavalryman wearing a laurel crown fills the upper portion. Lovely color with a few minor spots and some tiny abrasions in the map of Asia and below it. Trimmed close to neatlines, but still ample room for framing. There is a printer`s crease at bottom right and a couple of extraneous creases that have been pressed flat. Backed with tissue. (+B)

Frontispiece - Portrait (Ioannes Baptista Homann…), Homann Heirs, Nuremberg, ca. 1740. 10.5 x 15”. (BW) This portrait of Johann Baptist Homann depicts the great cartographer sitting in a library, with a map of Germany before him. Engraved by Johann Wilhelm Winter after the portrait by Johann Kenckel, an employee of neighboring publisher and engraver Christoph Weigel. Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724) was a German geographer and cartographer. In 1715 Homann was appointed Imperial Geographer of the Holy Roman Empire, as well as a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Shortly thereafter, Homann published his masterpiece Grosser Atlas ueber die ganze Welt (Grand Atlas of all the World). There are some small abrasions near center and a couple of small spots. (+B)

World (Figura del Mondo Universale), Munster, Cosmographia, Basel, ca. 1571. 15 x 11”. (BW) This famous woodblock map is presented on an oval projection surrounded by clouds and wind heads with the title above the map. The continents are shown in rough outline only. North America is shown with the large cleft nearly separating the east coast from the continent, often referred to as the Sea of Verazano. What appears to be a large Northwest Passage stretches towards Asia. South America has a very strange shape as well. In Africa, the Nile is prominently shown with its twin sources beginning in a range of southern mountains. The mythical islands of Grisonum and Calensuan are placed in the proximity of Australia, where there is also the label Mare Pacificum. A sailing ship and several fierce sea monsters occupy the oceans. Initials of the engraver David Kandel in lower left-hand corner. This is the second `modern` world map to appear in Munster`s Cosmographia, published between 1550 and 1578. This example is from an Italian edition, which were published in 1571 in Venice and 1578 in Cologne, with Italian text on verso. Ref: Shirley no.92; Manasek no.12. Two tiny worm tracks towards top and some faint spots. (+B)

World (Universi Orbis Descriptio Ad Usum Navigantium), Magini and Porro, Geiographicae Universae…, Venice, ca. 1597. 6.8 x 5.3”. (BW) This small mariner`s map is based on one of the most important world maps of the 16th century; Gerard Mercator`s multi-sheet map of 1569. The map reflects the belief in wide Arctic sea passages and depicts a huge southern continent, to which Magini has added fanciful ranges of mountains. A fine network of rhumb lines criss-cross the map and the oceans are stipple engraved in the Italian style. Printed on a full sheet of Italian text (9.5 x 14.2") with text below the map providing navigational instructions. This map, engraved by Girolamo Porro, is from the Venetian edition of the quarto edition of Ptolemy`s Geography that was edited by the distinguished Italian geographer Giovanni Magini. Ref: Shirley no.196. Light even toning with a few minor damp stains in blank margins, not affecting map. (A)

(HC) This is one of the first thematic maps, and it is the second world map in the Mercator-Hondius Atlas Minor. It is on a planispherical projection and uses symbols (identified in the key at bottom) to designate those areas of the world that are Christian (cross), Muslim (crescent), and idolaters (arrow). This is from the first edition, with Latin text on verso. Ref: Shirley no.260. There are a few faint spots and the map has been professionally remargined at top right with a small amount of neatline in facsimile. Cardinal directions written in manuscript ink in blank margins.

World ([World and Horological Diagrams]), Ritter, Speculum Solis…, [1607]. 13.3 x 11”. (BW) A rare and extremely unusual map shows the world projected from the North Pole as if it were the table of a sundial. The landmasses are drawn to scale in proportion to their distance from the pole. The result is a very distorted, though mathematically correct, projection. Ten horological diagrams surround the central map and all are enclosed in a decorative border. The plate was designed for Ritter`s first edition of the Speculum Solis in 1607, and is a synopsis of all the plates that appear in his later editions. Ref: cf Shirley no.270. Watermarked paper with a few minute tears that have been professionally closed on verso. Also professionally remargined. (A)
