Mappa tratta dal Cl. Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, pubblicata prima a Colonia da Gottfried von Kempen (1578) e poi ristampata dallo stesso editore nel 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) e poi da Isaac Elsevier per il Theatrum Geographiae veteris di Petrus Bertius (Leyden 1618). Di tutte le edizioni di Tolomeo, quella di Gerard Kremer (Mercatore), pubblicata nel 1578, e forse tecnicamente la più bella. A questo punto la Geografia di Tolomeo perdeva però ogni pretesa di “attualità”, laddove lo scopo di Mercatore era quello di produrre un atlante del mondo classico che servisse da complemento al suo atlante moderno (per tale ragione egli aveva tentato di recuperare la forma originale dell’atlante tolemaico, scartandone le moderne accrezioni). L'interpretazione di Mercatore del testo tolemaico, per le 28 carte che illustrano la sua Geographia è stata, quindi, una delle più veritiere. Egli aveva passato 13 anni a ricercare, disegnare e incidere le carte, rinunciando anche alla pubblicazione delle sue carte “moderne”. Questo esemplare proviene dal Theatrum Geographia Veteris di Petrus Bertius edita a Leida nel 1618, che combina il Tolomeo di Mercator, le 8 tavole del Moretus per rappresentare la Tabula Peutingeriana e 14 mappe storiche delle regioni d'Europa derivate dal Parergon di Ortelius. Acquaforte su rame, in buone condizioni. Ptolemaic map of British Isles. Showing landmarks, major cities and towns, rivers and parks. The map is decorated with a strapwork title cartouche, a sea monster and a fishing scene in the North Sea. Map taken from the Cl. Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, first published in Cologne by Gottfried von Kempen (1578) and then reprinted by the same publisher in 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) and then by Isaac Elsevier for the Petrus Bertius’ Theatrum Geographiae veteris (Leyden 1618). Mercator's interpretation of the 28 Ptolemaic text was possibly one of the truest undertaken up until that time. He had spent 13 years researching, drawing and engraving the maps at much commercial sacrifice to himself, having seen Ortelius's Theatrum and De Jodes Speculum published, to become both technical and commercial successes. In later life he devoted himself to his edition of the maps in Ptolemy's Geographia, reproduced in his own engraving as nearly as possible in their original form. This example comes from the Theatrum Geographia Veteris of Petrus Bertius published in Leiden in 1618, which combines Mercator's Ptolemy, the 8 plates of Moretus to represent the Tabula Peutingeriana and 14 historical maps of the regions of Europe derived from the Parergon of Ortelius. Copperplate, in good condition.
1807LBW-7019London, Edw.d Mogg, 1807. En deux feuilles coupées en 24 sections montées sur toile et pliées, formant une carte de 482 x 906 mm ; étui de papier bleu de l'époque avec pièce de titre de papier rouge.
Esemplare finemente colorato d’epoca della mappa di Munster dell'Italia, della Corsica e delle isole vicine, basata sulle informazioni della Geographia di Tolomeo. Carta tratta dalla Geographia universalis, vetus et nova, complectens. Claudii Ptolemaei Alexandrini Ennarationis libros VIII, pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1540 a Basilea da Heinrich Petri, figliastro di Münster e suo fidatissimo stampatore. Il volume è illustrato da 27 carte costruite seguendo le indicazioni di Tolomeo, a cui si affiancano 21 carte “moderne”, delineate in base alle recenti scoperte geografiche. La Geographia di Münster ebbe un notevole successo, e Petri la ristampò l'anno seguente (1541) e quello successivo ancora. Aumentate di sei le carte moderne, tra le quali la Carta Marina di Olao Magnus descrittiva della Scandinavia, l'editore la ristampò ancora nel 1545, nel 1551 e infine nel 1552, sempre con 54 carte geografiche, ma con la sostituzione della Pomerania al posto del Lago di Costanza. Alla scomparsa di Münster l’opera non venne più ristampata; alcune delle carte furono invece utilizzate da Heinrich Petri per le edizioni postume della Cosmographiae Universalis. Le matrici lignee, debitamente emendate, furono poi utilizzate per il Rerum Geographicarum dello Strabo, edizione stampata a Basileae: Ex Officina Henricpetriana, 1571 Mense Augusto. Silografia, meravigliosa coloritura coeva, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Esemplare tratto dall’edizione del 1545. Map taken from the Geographia universalis, vetus et nova, complectens. Claudii Ptolemaei Alexandrini Ennarationis libros VIII, published for the first time in 1540 in Basel by Heinrich Petri, stepson of Münster and his trusted printer. Finely original colour example of of Munster's map of Italy, Corsica and neighboring Islands, based on Ptolemy. The book is illustrated by 27 maps built following the indications of Ptolemy, which are flanked by 21 "modern" maps, outlined on the basis of recent geographical discoveries. The Geographia of Münster was a great success, and Petri reprinted it the following year (1541) and then in 1542. Having increased the number of modern maps by six, including the Carta Marina of Olao Magnus describing Scandinavia, the publisher reprinted it again in 1545, in 1551 and finally in 1552, still with 54 maps, but with the substitution of Pomerania in place of Lake Constance. At the death of Münster the work was not reprinted; some of the maps were instead used by Heinrich Petri for the posthumous editions of the Cosmographiae Universalis. The woodblock of the maps, duly amended, were used for the Rerum Geographicarum of Strabo, edition printed in Basileae: Ex Officina Henricpetriana, 1571 Mense Augusto. Woodcut, with fine original colouring, in excellent condition. Example form the 1545 edition.
