Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille (1725-1770) was a French architect and engineer. Tirregaille came to Poland in 1752, where he worked as a civil architect, surveyor and as an army engineer and captain of an infantry regiment, eventually attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Polish armed forces in 1762. In 1758 and 1759, Tirregaille worked for the "Komisja Brukowa" or Cobblestone Commission. Created in 1685, the Cobblestone Commission was tasked with paving the streets of Warsaw and creating a modern sewer system. The Commission remained largely inactive until 1740, when it was headed by Crown Marshal Franciszek Bielinski. Under his leadership, over the next 20 years, the commission managed to pave 222 streets, a large majority of streets of the contemporary Polish capital. In 1757, Bielinski, with his own funds, created a the village of Bielino, which would become the modern city centre of Warsaw. In 1762, with his work nearly completed, Bielinski commissioned Tirregaille to prepare a detailed plan of the city of Warsaw, which resulted in the creation of the first map of Warsaw based upon a scientific survey. The view was embellished with vignettes of important buildings around the city, including, the Primate's Palace, the Symonowicz Palace, the palace of the Bishops of Cracow and the Radziwill Palace. Tirregaille's map is a monument to all of Bielinski's efforts in creating 'modern' Warsaw.

Adams L735; Borba de Moraes I p. 418; Sabin 41366; cf. Lipperheide 1454-5. Rare first edition in Latin, the second overall, and the first to contain the important Barentsz map of the Arctic regions, 'Deliniatio cartae trium navigationum per Batavos, ad Septentrionalem plagam', populated by imaginary sea-monsters. The plates, which include views, city plans, local costumes and customs, and botanical subjects, are the same as those in the Dutch first edition of 1596 with Latin captions added. 'Linschoten was born in Haarlem, Holland, in 1563. In 1583 he sailed to India with Vicente da Fonseca, archbishop of Goa. He remained there until 1589, the year of his master's death, when he returned to Holland. Later, in 1594, he joined the expedition which, under the command of Nay, Brandt and Barentz, made discoveries in the China Sea. Linschoten died in Holland in 1633' (Borba de Moraes). His wide-ranging account is considered 'the real starting point of Dutch overseas expansion' (Helmers & Jannsen, eds., The Cambridge Companion to the Dutch Golden Age, p. 168). This copy notably retains the two large folding plans of Goa and Angra by Jan van Doetechem after Linschoten, and the two folding views of St Helena. (The list of plates lists one plan of St Helena but the two present are evidently separate engravings.) The other folding plate is 'Forum seu praeconium Goae'. The extant maps are: Delineatio orarum maritimarum, terrae vulgo indigetatae terra do Natal, item Sofalae, Mozambicae, et Melindae ... ad Indiam ...

Borba de Moares notes that copies rarely contain all the maps as the book was widely used by explorers long after publication.
