Attrattiva carta dell'Africa, pubblicata da Jodocus Hondius per le numerose edizioni del Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes, edite dal 1606 al 1630. La carta fa parte delle 37 nuove mappe incise da Hondius per aggiornare l’opera cartografica del Mercator. La geografia di questa mappa deriva da diverse fonti, prima fra tutte la mappa dell'Africa di Mercator del 1595, con aggiunte e modifiche, ma Hondius aveva anche accesso ai vari libri di esplorazione di Pigafetta, Ramusio e altri, integrati con le più recenti pubblicazioni olandesi, come ad esempio l'Itinerario di Van Linschoten. La mappa, dunque, costituisce una sorta di transizione tra la geografia di Ortelius e Mercator, e quella più moderna di Blaeu, Claesz e altri, dei primi decenni del '600. Questa mappa è conosciuta in un unico stato. Nel 1604, Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) - probabilmente tramite Cornelis Claesz - acquistò le matrici in rame dell'Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi di Gerard Mercator all’asta. Aggiunse circa 40 mappe, comprese nuove mappe dei continenti e importanti mappe regionali delle Americhe, prima di pubblicare una nuova edizione dell’opera, nel 1606, in concorrenza con il Theatrum Orbis Terrarum di Ortelius. Poiché molte delle mappe erano più aggiornate, la raccolta di Mercator & Hondius sostituì effettivamente il Theatrum di Ortelius. L’atlante del 1606 include tutte le 107 mappe dell’edizione del 1595, oltre a 37 nuove mappe, abilmente incise dallo stesso Hondius. La seconda edizione della raccolta seguì già nel 1607/08, mentre la prima edizione in un’altra lingua, il francese, fu messa sul mercato nel 1609. Apparentemente questa fu considerata come la terza edizione, perché nel 1611 apparve l'Editio Quarta, con un totale di 150 mappe. Dopo la morte di Jodocus Hondius (1612) la sua vedova e i suoi figli continuarono la stampa dell’atlante. Jodocus Junior ( o Jodocus II, 1594-1629) produsse diverse ristampe tra il 1613 e il 1619, sempre con le stesse 150 mappe; nel 1619 furono invece aggiunte sei nuove mappe. Dopo il 1620 la pubblicazione venne curata da Hendrick (Henricus) Hondius (1597-1651), il secondo figlio di Jodocus senior. Varie edizioni apparvero, nel 1623, 1628 e 1630. Hendrick fu il primo ad apportare dei veri cambiamenti: nell’edizione del 1628 firmò alcune mappe di Mercatore con il proprio nome. Nel 1630, quando probabilmente stava già collaborando con suo cognato Johannes Janssonius, aggiunse nove nuove carte. Incisione in rame, finemente colorata a mano, in ottime condizioni. This is an attractive map by Jodocus Hondius showing the continent of Africa. "Hondius map of Africa is an important transitional map, bridging the earlier work of Ortelius, Mercator and others, with the more modern maps of Willem Blaeu in 1608, Claesz. in 1617, and others. The geography for this map is taken from a variety of sources. Some of the interior of Africa is based on Mercator's 1595 map of Africa, but numerous additions and changes have been made. Hondius had access to the books of exploration of Africanus, Pigafetta (based on the travel account of Duarte Lopez), Ramusion, De Barros, and others. These were supplemented by the more recent Dutch sources such as Van Linschoten's Itinerario with the two maps of the Southern portion of Africa based on Portuguese sources. [...] This map of Africa was issued along with Gerard Mercator's 1595 map, Africa ex magna orbis terre... in the various editions of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas up to 1630." (R. Betz) In 1604, Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) – probably trought Cornelis Claesz - bought the copperplates of Mercator’s Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi at the auction of Gerard Jr.’s effects. He added about 40 maps, including new maps of the Continents and important regional maps of the Americas, before publishing a new edition of the Atlas, in 1606, in competition with Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. As many of the maps were more up-to-date, the Mercator-Hondius Atlas effectively superseded Ortelius’ Theatrum. This atlas from 1606 include all 107 maps from the 1595 edition, as well as 37 new maps, skillfully engraved by Hondius, of various authors. The second edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas followed as soon as 1607/08. The first edition in another language, French, was put on the market in 1609. Apparently this one was regarded as the third edition, because in 1611 Editio Quarta appeared with a total of 150 maps. After the death of Jodocus Hondius in 1612 his widow and sons continued the publication of the Atlas. For instance Jodocus Junior (1594-1629) produced several new editions of the Editio Quarta between 1613 and 1619, each with the same 150 maps. Finally in 1619 the last edition of this atlas followed, to which six new maps were added. After 1620 the publication of the Atlas was continued by Henricus Hondius (ca. 1596/97-1651), the second son of Jodocus senior. Various editions appeared, in 1623, 1628 and 1630. Henricus Hondius was the first to make some real changes: in the 1628 edition he provided some Mercator maps with his own name. In 1630, when he was probably already cooperating with his brother-in- law Johannes Janssonius, Henricus added nine new maps. R. L. Betz "The Mapping of Africa…" (2007), map 52; O. I.

The author's identity has always been a mystery: there is no record of a sister nor of another female family member residing in Tripoli apart from Mr Tully's wife and two daughters. The final entry is dated April 30 1795 Gibraltar. It reads: "Since you must have had my letters with the journal of Tripoli". Louisa Maria Tully daughter of Richard Tully married Alexander Simpson on 19 March 1795 in Gibraltar. Her sister Anne married Gaspar Gomez de la Serna Perez de Beas having four children before his death in 1808 residing in Minorca. Both daughters were fluent in Arabic both were intimate with the court of Tripoli regarded as daughters of the Court. Mrs Tully may be discounted as the author as she is referred to in the third person. The first person authors are variably "we" or "I". I suggest that these letters were written by the Tully sisters.</em></p><p><em>Byron admitted his plagiarism of this work "by the way much of the description of the furniture in Canto Third of Don Juan is Taken from Tully's Tripoli pray note this.

Carta tratta dell'Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi curato da Hendrick Hondius.

Nel 1630, quando probabilmente stava già collaborando con suo cognato Johannes Janssonius, aggiunse nove nuove carte. Acquaforte, bella coloritura coeva, in buono stato di conservazione. This map of Africa, realized by Hendrik Hondius, is a reissue of Jodocus Hondius' map, without the decorative borders, but with the excudit of Janssonius, on lower right. While the general geography for this map is taken from Willem Blaeu’s wall map of 1608 and his 1617 folio map, this example represents a considerable advance in the detail and accuracy of Africa from Hondius’ prior maps.Geographical improvements include a more rounded southern Cape, the naming of the Rio de Spiritu Santo and of the CuamaRiver, the insertion of Zimbaos and alteration in the shape of Madagascar. The Kingdom of Monomotapa fills the entire southern tip of Africa.However, the map is also filled with fictitious rivers and mountains and shows the origin of the Nile conforming to the Ptolemaic tradition of twin lakes located below the equator, as is typical of 17th Century cartography. Map taken from the Atlas sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi edited by Hendrick Hondius.

Bella e rara carta nautica, tratta dal celebre atlante di De Witt ''Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas", che mostra l'Africa occidentale con le Isole Canarie e Capo Verde nell'Oceano Atlantico. La mappa è dotata di due rose dei venti e battaglie navali. L'immagine della mappa è orientata con il Nord verso l'Est. Cartiglio ricco e dettagliato con titolo in latino, con immagini di nativi e di commercianti occidentali, oltre ad animali del luogo. "Frederick de Wit deve essere considerato uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della seconda metà del XVII secolo. La maggior parte delle sue mappe sono di ottima qualità, sono caratterizzate da un'incisione chiara e bella, dall'attualità e ricchezza dell'immagine cartografica nonché dall'equilibrio delle decorazioni cartografiche".
