1662bf4740Chez L'auteur Relié 1662 "MAGNIFIQUE ENSEMBLE DES QUATRE CONTINENTS CARTOGRAPHIÉS PAR LE PREMIER CARTOGRAPHE FRANÇAIS, DANS UN ÉTAT DE FRAICHEUR INCOMPARABLE. Quatre volumes petit in-4 (18,5 x 25 cm), reliés en plein veau brun de l'époque. Les reliures sont toutes identiques, dos à 5 nerfs, titrés, roulettes dorées sur les coupes. Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville est considéré comme le fondateur de la cartographie en France. En 1627, rencontrant Richelieu (il venait d'Abbeville et s'était installé à Paris), il fut présenté par lui à Louis XIII, qui le nomma Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. Il cartographia quatre continents (ici présents : l'Europe, l'Asie, l'Afrique et l'Amérique), et fut même le premier à cartographier certaines parties du globe (ainsi, par exemple, la région des grands lacs canadiens, avec sa carte ""Le Canada ou Nouvelle France"" (carte datant de 1656)). Il fut le premier Français à concevoir le plan d'un atlas mondial. Les cartes et le texte de chaque volume sont entièrement montés sur onglets. Chaque carte reçoit un commentaire explicatif, avec informations sur l'économie, les habitants et les moeurs du pays décrit, tiré des auteurs anciens (Pline, Strabbon...), de récits de voyageurs ou de rapports des missions des jésuites. De plus, chacune des cartes présente les tracés de contours des pays ou régions aquarellés. Les volumes s'organisent comme suit : L'Europe (sans date) : Titre et dédicace gravés sur double page, 12 cartes doubles et 30 feuillets imprimés au recto. L'Asie (1662) : 108 pages (avec erreurs connues de chiffrage et inversion de feuillets) et 17 cartes doubles. L'Afrique (1662) : 96 pages et 17 planches doubles, proposant 18 cartes (car l'une des planches porte deux cartes) (ce volume est le seul à présenter une petite mouillure sur les quelques premières pages). L'Amérique (1662) : non paginé (80 pages) et 15 cartes doubles. Nos exemplaires sont en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT. Les pages sont très fraiches, sans aucune réelle trace, tache, piqûre ni mouillure. Les cartes, particulièrement, sont dans un vraiment très bel état de fraîcheur, avec des couleurs extrêmement éclatantes. Les reliures présentent des traces peu visibles de réparations anciennes. Les volumes ont étés reliés avec contre-gardes, mais sans pages de garde. Ce rare ensemble est véritablement en TRÈS BEL ÉTAT. Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande."

1652M4655Paris 1652. Very Good. Notes: This is an important 17th-century map of Iran published in Paris by Nicolas Sanson the greatest 17th-century French cartographer. The map depicts Iran at the time of Shah Abbas II of the Safavid dynasty. It is interesting to note that present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan and even part of India sit within Iran's borders all of which were lost in due course by the kings of the Qajar dynasty. Also as Sufism was the religion of Iran at the time of the Safavid dynasty the title of the map refers to the "Empire of the Sufi of the Persians".

1652006683Paris: Chez l'Autheur 1652. First Edition. Full Calf. Very Good. 4to. 23.5 by 17.5 cm. Unpaginated 102 pages of text plus 2 pp. of ads 1 Royal privilege page. With 17 copper engraved maps all two page plates each with hand-colored of boundaries. Maps include one of the entire continent then of its various regions as then known plus island groups. Separate maps for China and Japan. Bound in contemporary calf. Condition: Rebacked with joints making this obvious. The original spine was re-mounted with some losses. Its blindstamped decoration of fans is discernible but somewhat vague. We think it is possible this decoration had some gilding or color originally but none survives. Still an interesting and unusual feature in our view. Calf dry and rubbed on spine and joints and edges rubbed. Light to moderate soiling in the margins of many pages and on a few pages the soiling invades inward beyond the margins and also in a few instances the marginal soiling is on the heavier side. There are a few archival tape repairs of small chips three on the title leaf one on the following leaf and after that wormhole edge damage was left untouched. That said the defect and repair isn't as glaring as it might sound. The edges elsewhere can have short spans of a chewed appearance. As a book generally we would consider this copy at best Good. As far as the maps go independent of the book we would regard them as Very Good. A few of the maps might individually fall short of such grading; on the other hand all the maps of this copy one can easily imagine someone enthusiastically framing even without an attempt to clean them up. Two bookplates -- one of the Marquis of Lothian the other the Newbattle Abbey Library. Chez l'Autheur unknown

1656B2984Paris: Nicolas Sanson c. 1656. Lower right corner of the first eight leaves strengthened otherwise a very good copy maps and text are clean and crisp. In protective cloth slipcase. Edition: First edition. Binding: Full contemporary calf expertly rebacked with spine in six compartments of raised bands and finely-gilt motifs morocco label on two edges speckled red. Notes: This atlas was dedicated to the Superintendent of Finances at the time Nicolas Fouquet. <br>Regarding a map of South and Central Africa published the year before which bears resemblance to this map of South Africa--‘Pays et Costes des Caffres’--in particular Norwich writes: “This map although a fine example of cartography is based on very little information; for example the desert-like coast of South West Africa is presented as a land rich in rivers. The fictitious states are given fictitious boundaries and the interior is marked with large cities such as Vigiti Magna and Monomotapa. This information led to subsequent exploration in search of these fabulous cities. Although the map is dated three years after the foundation of a settlement at the Cape by Jan van Riebeeck no mention is made of any European settlement anywhere in the south.†Size: 4to Illustration: Recent stencilled title.

1682za2213A Paris, chez l'Auteur, aux Galleries du Louvre, vis à vis l'Eglise de St Nicolas Relié 1682 "In-12 (9,8 x 16 cm), reliure plein veau, dos à 4 nerfs orné de caissons dorés, liseré doré sur les coupes, tranches mouchetées, titre comple : ""Introduction à la géographie, première partie. Où sont 1. Indiquées les Sciences dont la Géographie emprunte plusieurs Principes. 2. La Description des differentes Manieres dont cette Science est Représentée. 3. L'Explication des Termes de toutes les Parties de la Geographie. 4. Une Instruction de toutes les Parties de la Geographie. 4. Une Instruction de l'Usage des Cartes."", pagination comme suit : page de titre, préface (6 pp. non numérotées), avis au lecteur (2 pp. non numérotées), table des chapitres (9 pp. non numérotées, fautes à corriger, extrait du Privilege du Roy, 292 pp., table alphabetique (13 pp. non numérotées), avertissement (5 pp. non numérotées). Le plan de cet ouvrage de 320 pages est composé de trois parties. Dans la première, l'auteur place la géographie dans la cosmoraphie, puis il distingue entre globes et cartes, avant de décrire, comme l'avait fait Lubin, le vocabulaire de la géographie. Guillaume Sanson conclut cette partie par un chapitre sur l'usage des cartes. La deuxième partie s'intéresse aux relations entre l'astronomie et la géographie, décrivant le globe soit par par zones, soit par la grille des latitudes et longitudes. Enfin, la troisième partie, dite de géographie naturelle, rassemble pêle-mêle la liste des découpages du globe, selon les grilles évoquées dans la deuxième partie, puis en fonction des continents et des mers, voire selon d'autres critères comme les géographies historique, politique et sacrée, ou linguistique. La description de l'ensemble des Etats du monde y occupe 20 pages (et semble avoir été inspirée par l'Atlas du monde publié par Nicolas Sanson en 1665). Il s'agit donc d'abord d'une géographie assez théorique qui viserait à faire connaître le vocabulaire ainsi que les catégories de la géographie. Pourquoi cette introduction n'offre-t-elle pas plus de description de la géographie du monde ? Parce que la géographie --comme Guillaume Sanson l'écrit dans la préface-- ""est présentement à la Portée de tout le Monde, puisqu'avec cette méthode il ne faut que des yeux et des cartes"" (Sanson 1682). Deux hypothèses en découlent. La première fait de ce livre avant tout un prospectus pour les cartes des Sanson. La seconde y voit une tentative, par la famille Sanson, de captation de la géographie par la cartographie. De plus, on trouve dans l'édition de 1682 un avertissement passionnant de la main de Sanson, situé après la table alphabétique des matières. Il y critique la ""Méthode pour apprendre facilement la géographie"" de Jacques Robbe (1678), ainsi que la ""Description de Univers contenant les différents systèmes du monde"" à paraître (1683) de Manesson-Mallet, le traitant sans retenue de plagiaire. Plus loin, ayant mis en garde des acheteurs de cartes que les copistes étaient foison, Sanson note qu'il fait encore partie des vivants : ""Quelques uns nous effacent hardiment du nombre des Vivans, d'autres ont voulu persuader que nous estions retournez en Province, & qu'il y en avoit qui avoient eu assez d'effronterie pour prendre notre Nom ; de sorte que nous avons fait mettre à la Teste de cette Introduction Que nous demeurons aux Galleries du Louvre, pour desabuser le Public, & faciliter par là de Dessein de ceux qui voudront nous faire l'honneur de venir chez nous pour s'éclaircir de quelques difficultez, ou pour prendre avis touchant nos Ouvrages qu'ils voudront avoir."" ; quelques épidermures au dos, coiffe supérieure et coins du premier plat un peu usés, par ailleurs intérieur frais, bon état général.
