Coppia di piante della città in un foglio litografico del XIX secolo. A destra la città come appariva nel 1572, secondo la più antica rappresentazione della città di Torino, realizzata nel 1572 dal fiammingo Jan Kraeck, quando era ancora racchiusa nelle mura di età romana e medievale, sebbene ormai dominata dalla mole della Cittadella. A sinistra una rappresentazione della città fortificata come appariva nel 1680. La carta del Kraeck (Carracha) fu allegata nel 1577 all’opera Augusta Taurinorum dello storiografo umanista Filiberto Pingone. Alcune copie originali sono conservate, ad esempio, presso la Biblioteca Reale di Torino e presso l’Archivio Storico della Città di Torino. Benché la pianta abbia chiari intenti celebrativi, tuttavia resta un insostituibile documento della forma urbana tardomedievale torinese, il primo a raffigurare la città in modo sufficientemente rigoroso. È un vero peccato che la veduta, immaginata come se fosse presa dalla collina (dunque guardando verso ovest), sia stata realizzata quando i Francesi avevano già raso al suolo i borghi extraurbani (nel 1536), ricchi di edifici, chiese e altre strutture rilevanti (forse anche l’anfiteatro romano). Peraltro, quella che il Carracha ci propone è l’immagine di una città oggi in buona parte perduta, dal tessuto ancora fortemente medievale, con strade irregolari nelle quali si ravvisa però il primitivo tracciato romano, circondata da una cortina muraria anch’essa in buona parte ancora romana, benché sia evidente come le torri della cinta (e tratti della cinta stessa) abbiano subìto nel tempo qualche modifica. È riconoscibile il fossato che circonda la città e si notano ancora tre dei quattro bastioni costruiti nel XV secolo agli angoli di Torino. È ben visibile anche la doira (derivazione a mo’ di canale) che attraversa l’attuale via Garibaldi (allora contrada di Doragrossa), più un’ulteriore derivazione che scorre lungo quella che oggi è via Bertola. Litografia, finemente colorata a mano, in perfetto stato di conservazione.

Mappa tratta dall’Atlas minor Gerardi Mercatoris a I. Hondio plurimis aeneis tabulis auctus et illustratus. Apparso per la prima volta nel 1607, l'atlante Mercator-Hondius-Mercator fu un successo a livello europeo, con edizioni pubblicate sia in latino che in diverse altre lingue. Le varie edizioni furono curate da Jodocus Hondius e poi da Jan Janssonius, e contenevano un numero crescente di mappe. "Shortly after the publication of the big folio-atlases the need was apparantly felt for a smaller-sized atlas, one that would be handier, and, above all, cheaper, so that a larger public might have access to the use of maps. The publication of the Atlas Minor appeared to be a great success for Hondius; the first Latin edition was in great demand. The copperplates of the first atlases minor were most almost certainly engraved by Jodocus Hondius himself. After 1621, the copperplates of the Atlas Minor were sold to a London editor. Firstly, they appeared in Purchas his Pilgrinies, printed in 1625 by William Stansby for Henry Featherstone. Next they were used for the translation of the Mercator-atlas, printed in small folio under the title Historia mundi, or Mercators atlas, by Thomas Cotes for Michael Sparke and Samuel Cartwight in 1635". (cf. Koeman II Me 191). "As with the Theatrum of Abraham Ortelius, Jodocus Hondius planned a reduced size version of Gerard Mercator's folio atlas. Just one year after his first edition he published his Latin text Atlas Minor in collaboration with Jan Jansz. and Cormelis Claesz. The arrangement between these three is not understood clearly but Hondius is believed to have been the owner of the copperplates. Cartographically this is taken directly from the folio maps by Hondius in 1606 [..]. with the inevitable loss of detail due to the reduction” (cf. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 153).

Hondio plurimis aeneis tabulis auctus et illustratus. Appearing first in 1607, the Hondius-Mercator ‘smaller’ atlas was a Europe-wide success, with editions published both in Latin and in several vernaculars. The various editions were edited by Jodocus Hondius and then Jan Janssonius, and contained an increasing number of maps.
