Incisione in rame, colorata da mano coeva (cm 41,5 x50,3 e ampi margini).Tratta dall'edizione latina dell'Atlas Novus pubblicato ad Amsterdam nel 1640 ca. Esemplare fresco e marginoso. (Blavius o Guilielmus Caesius o Guilielmus Jansonius). Cartografo olandese (Uitgeest 1571-Amsterdam 1638). Allievo a Praga dell'astronomo Tycho Brahe, nel 1599 si stabilì ad Amsterdam, dove iniziò la pubblicazione di atlanti e carte geografiche e la costruzione di mappamondi. Nel 1633 fu nominato cartografo della Repubblica. Alla sua morte l'azienda proseguì per opera dei suoi due talentuosi figli Cornelius (1616-1648) e Johannes (1596-1673) che ampliarono l'ambizioso progetto cartografico del padre. L'Atlas Major è il risultato dell'immenso lavoro dei Blaeu ed è riconosciuto unanimamente come uno dei momenti più alti nella storia della cartografia. Il lavoro dei Blaeu si interruppe nel 1672 quando il grande incendio di Amsterdam distrusse l'officina e gran parte delle lastre. L'anno seguente Johannes morì e le lastre rimanenti vennero disperse e acquistate dai rivali Frederick De Wit, Schenk e Valk. La casa editrice chiuse definitivamente nel 1695.. .

New English Original bdg. HC. 4to. (31 x 22 cm). In English. 544 p., ills. Ottoman Chrysochou (Mid-19th century). This volume presents the thirteen 19th-century fiscal censuses of the district of Hrisofi (Chrysochou) on the north-western side of Cyprus and joins the other two editions containing the censuses of the neighbouring kazas of Kouklia and Paphos released in 2015 and 2016 respectively. It covers the period from 1825 to 1848. The sources, although concerning taxation, trace the demographic and social status of the population in the mid-19th century, providing opportunities for further comparisons with sources of this type, both older and newer. Research fields can therefore be extended to other periods too, and can be directed at exploring issues that explain conversions to Islam, population movements, etc. The fiscal registers we examined reveal the picture that emerges from official administrative data of the Ottoman Empire, a picture that is no different from that described by Western travellers who visited the island, inspired by an interest in its glorious past in antiquity.
The author records folk life and village society in his hometown during the period 1940-1980. He describes the material life (organization of production, survival mechanisms of residents, the village market, technical, traditional occupations) and the forms of cooperation and mutual assistance between the villagers. His local knowledge and personal experience of village life helped him to assemble much primary folklore material and record it with the help of informants and villager, providing typical examples of collective memory, showing links to the place of origin and preservation of the rich functional and ritual life of the community.188p. illus, bibligraphy. {3 copies found in WorldCat] Book

"Prima edizione della versione francese". Cfr. The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages (2004),782, per la prima ediz. inglese del 1773: “Important collection chronicling English maritime expeditions. John Byron visited the Tuamoto Islands and Nikunau in what would later be called the Gilbert Islands. Captain Wallis discovered the volcanic island of Tahiti and Morea.. Captain Carteret discovered Pitcairn Island and some remote atolls in the South Seas. The first voyage under the not-yet-famous Captain Cook’s command was primarly of a scientific nature. The expedition was to sail to Tahiti in order to observe the transit of Venus across the disk of the sun, to determine the earth’s distance from the sun, and also to carry on the geographical discovery that John Byron had started. Entering the Pacific around Cape Horn, Cook reached Tahiti in 1769 and carried out the necessary astronomical observations.. Leaving Tahiti in July, Cook discovered, named and charted the Society Islands, and then, heading southwest, explored New Zealand. Cook then headed towards Australia and discovered and charted the eastern coast for 2.000 miles, naming the area New South Wales. He nearly lost his ship on the Great Barrier Reef. Both Australia and New Zealand were annexed by Britain as a result of this voyage, which began in 1768 and ended in 1771. Cook’s discoveries won him prominence, promotion, and the opportunity to sail again. They also ensured J. Hawkesworth’s position in maritime literary history, as the official chronicler of Cook’s first voyage”. Pagine ingiallite per la qualità della carta, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.
