1579029357Antwerp: Christopher Plantin 1579. Soft cover. Bom / Good / Bon. 344x514 mm. 1 fólio. Retirado de "Theatrum Orbis terrarum". Adaptação do mapa de Fernando Ãlvares Secco. No verso possui texto em Latim intitulado "Portugalia Regnum" e a indicação da paginação: Fólio 16. De acordo com Van den Broecke - "Ortelius Atlas Maps an illustred guide" este exemplar é da tiragem Plantiniana de 1579 250 exemplares pois a última linha do texto: ad Chinam & Lequios per omnes prouincias maritimas insulasq.adiacentesextenditur e o primeiro R do segundo tÃtulo alinha à esquerda do primeiro R do primeiro tÃtulo. Abraham Ortelius nasceu em Antuérpia após a conclusão dos estudos em grego latim e matemática estableceu-se com as suas irmãs como coloristas de mapas dedicando-se mais tarde ao comércio de livros e moedas antigas. A publicação do seu "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" editado em Antuérpia em 1570 vai transformá-lo num dos mais importantes cartografos do Séc. XVI. Pela primeira vez uma obra reúne todos os elementos caracterÃsticos de um atlas é também o primeiro a ser composto por mapas bi-fólio de tamanho uniforme. A maior parte dos mapas foram gravados por Frans Hogenberg e inicialmente impressos por Aegidius Coppenium Diesth; a partir de 1579 passaram a ser impressos nas oficinas de Christophe Plantin. Ortelius no "Catalogus auctorum tabularum geographicarum" indica expressamente a autoria deste mapa como sendo de Fernando Ãlvares Seco. A gravura é inspirada quer na edição princeps quer na de Gerard de Jode do ano de 1565 nomeadamente a Cartela com a dedicatória feita por Aquiles Estaço a Guido Sforza. <br/> <br/> Christopher Plantin paperback
