Avity (Pierre d'). Wereld Spiegel waer in vertoontword de beschrÿvinge der kÿken staten ... uyt den francoÿse verduÿtst, ende met jaer teÿkeningen verriickt door Mr. Govert vander Eembd, 1st edition in Dutch, Amsterdam: Jan Evertsen Cloppenburch, 1621, text mainly in black letter, half-title, engraved title-page, 82 portraits of rulers (mainly 18 x 12.5 cm) and 39 maps (9.5 x 13.5 cm) in the text (all engraved), toning, marginal damp-staining to outer leaves, leaf a6 torn at upper outer corner, repaired closed tear in 2B8, 2F6 with small hole affecting portrait recto and text verso, lacking final leaf 2X8 (part of index), later vellum, endpapers possibly renewed, folio in 8s (32.3 x 20.5 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESAlden/Landis 621.5; Koeman II p. 253 refers; cf. Sabin 2498 & 18911-13 (other editions). First edition in Dutch, and the first illustrated with maps, of Les empires, royaumes, estats ... et principautez du monde , an influential compendium of geographical knowledge by French soldier and author Pierre d'Avity (1573-1635); the first edition of 1613, other preceding French editions, and the English translation of 1615 all had an engraved title-page only. The 39 maps were originally published in the Caert -Thresoor , a sought-after miniature atlas first printed at Middleburg by Barent Langenes in 1598. According to Koeman, 'the Caert Thresoor ... [set] a new standard for minor atlases. The small maps are extremely well-engraved: neat and clear, elegantly composed'. Koeman implies that Cloppenburg, printer of the Wereld Spiegel , used the original plates of the 1598 edition, but he appears in fact to have used the re-engraved versions of Tabularum Geographicarum , a revision of the Carte-Thresoor by Petrus Bertius first published in 1600. The resulting maps cover most of the known world except for the Americas, and notably include Poland, Russia, Central Asia ('Tartary'), China, Japan, Burma, Persia, the Congo, and Mediterranean islands including Cyprus, Malta, Rhodes, Mallorca and Menorca, Sardinia, and the Canaries. There are also three separate maps of India, depicting the Bay of Bengal, southern India, and the Malabar Coast. A full list is available on request.
