Pianta del rione tratta dalla celebre guida di Roma di Dominique Magnan La ville de Rome, ou, Description abrégée de cette superbe ville: divisée en quatre volumes: et ornée de 425 planches en taille douce. A Rome: De l'imprimerie d'Archange Casaletti ... : Chez Venan. Monaldini, Bouchard et Gravier : Gregoire Settari ..., 1778. Dominique Magnan (1731–1796), dotto abate francese del convento della Trinità dei Monti, dell'ordine dei minimi, a Roma, che fu profondamente coinvolto nella vita intellettuale della sua comunità durante la seconda metà del XVIII secolo. Ha studiato all'università di Avignone, poi si è unito ai Minimi di La Ciotat all'età di 20 anni, dove ha iniziato la sua carriera come collezionista di monete e medaglie antiche. Nominato professore di teologia a Marsiglia, ha continuato il suo lavoro. Si mise in contatto con i più famosi antiquari dell'epoca, sia in Italia che in Germania, e acquisì rapidamente una vasta reputazione. I suoi primi libri hanno ricevuto il plauso della critica. Ma i suoi lavori più significativi erano sulla numismatica sebbene fortemente criticati dagli specialisti dell'epoca in quanto la copertura universale e completa del soggetto poteva mantenere la confusione tra monete autentiche e false.

Map taken from the famous guide of Rome by Dominique Magnan La ville de Rome, ou, Description abrégée de cette superbe ville: divisée en quatre volumes: et ornée de 425 planches en taille douce. A Rome: De l'imprimerie d'Archange Casaletti ... : Chez Venan. Monaldini, Bouchard et Gravier : Gregoire Settari ..., 1778. Dominique Magnan (1731–1796), a learned French abbot of the Trinità dei Monti convent, of the order of the minims, in Rome, who was deeply involved in the intellectual life of his community during the second half of the 18th century. He studied at the University of Avignon, then joined the Minims of La Ciotat at age 20, where he began his career as a collector of ancient coins and medals. Appointed professor of theology in Marseille, he continued his work. He got in touch with the most famous antiquaries of the time, both in Italy and Germany, and speedily acquired an extensive reputation. His first books received critical acclaim. But his most significant works were on numismatics though heavily criticized by specialists of the time in that universal and complete coverage of the subject could maintain confusion between authentic coins and the fake ones.

Tavola tratta dalla Cosmographiae Universalis, edizione in tedesco, Basilea, seconda metà del XVI secolo.La Cosmographiae Universalis di Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), stampata per la prima volta Basilea nel 1544 dall’editore Heinrich Petri, venne più volte aggiornata e aumentata di nuove carte geografiche e rappresentazioni urbane nelle sue numerose edizioni che arrivano all’inizio del secolo successivo. Münster aveva lavorato a raccogliere informazioni al fine di ottenere un'opera che non deludesse le aspettative e, dopo un'ulteriore pubblicazione in tedesco abbellita da 910 stampe su legno, giunse nel 1550 all'edizione definitiva in latino, illustrata da 970 silografie. Vi furono poi numerose edizioni in diverse lingue, fra cui latino, francese, italiano, inglese e ceco. Dopo la sua morte di Münster (1552), Heinrich Petri prima, e il figlio Sebastian poi, continuarono la pubblicazione dell’opera. La Cosmographia universalis fu uno dei libri più popolari e di successo del XVI secolo, e vide ben 24 edizioni in 100 anni: l'ultima edizione tedesca venne pubblicata nel 1628, molto tempo dopo la morte dell'autore. La Cosmographia conteneva non solo le ultime mappe e vedute di tutte le città più famose, ma anche una serie di notizie enciclopediche di dettagli relative al mondo conosciuto, e sconosciuto. Il particolare successo anche commerciale di quest'opera fu dovuto in parte alle belle incisioni (tra i cui autori si possono citate Hans Holbein il Giovane, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, David Kandel). Silografia, bella coloritura a mano, in buone condizioni. Plate taken from the Cosmographiae Universalis, German edition, Basel, second half of the 16th Century. The Cosmographiae Universalis of Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), printed for the first time in Basel in 1544 by the publisher Heinrich Petri, was updated several times and increased with new maps and urban representations in its many editions until the beginning of the next century. Münster had worked to collect information in order to obtain a work that did not disappoint expectations and, after a further publication in German embellished with 910 woodblock prints, arrived in 1550 to the final edition in Latin, illustrated by 970 woodcuts. There were then numerous editions in different languages, including Latin, French, Italian, English and Czech. After his death in Münster (1552), Heinrich Petri first, and then his son Sebastian, continued the publication of the work. The Cosmographia universalis was one of the most popular and successful books of the 16th century, and saw as many as 24 editions in 100 years: the last German edition was published in 1628, long after the author's death. The Cosmographia contained not only the latest maps and views of all the most famous cities, but also a series of encyclopedic details related to the known, and unknown, world. The particular commercial success of this work was due in part to the beautiful engravings (among whose authors can be mentioned Hans Holbein the Younger, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch, David Kandel). Woodcut, beautiful hand-coloring, in good condition.

Carta del Mondo in proiezione mercatoriana, in due fogli, tratta dal Family Atlas. Questa mappa dettagliata presenta una notevole quantità di informazioni. Gli Stati Uniti sono mostrati escludendo il sud-ovest e il Texas. Il Texas è stato un paese indipendente dal 1836 al 1845, ma è mostrato qui come parte del Messico. Il confine settentrionale degli Stati Uniti e del Canada mostra il conteso confine per l'Oregon, scendendo fino a circa il 45° parallelo, che riflette le rivendicazioni britanniche in quella regione. La questione fu finalmente risolta nel 1846 con il trattato dell'Oregon che fissava quel confine al 49° parallelo. La regione artica mostra l'estensione delle conoscenze contemporanee, non notando nulla oltre al "Packed Ice" a nord dello stretto di Bering. L'Africa è mostrata con gran parte del suo interno non mappato - quella regione non è stata mappata a fondo fino all'ultima parte del XIX secolo. La Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, o SDUK, fu fondata nel 1826 per fornire informazioni scientifiche e di altro tipo alla classe media e ai lavoratori britannici. This delicately detailed map on two separate sheets presents a considerable amount of information. The United States is shown excluding the Southwest and Texas. Texas was an independent country from 1836-1845, but it is shown here as part of Mexico. The northern border of the United States and Canada shows the disputed border for Oregon Territory coming down to about the 45th parallel, which reflects British claims in that region. This was finally solved in 1846 with the Oregon Treaty fixing that border at the 49th parallel. The Arctic region shows the extent of contemporary knowledge, noting nothing besides Packed Ice north of the Bering Strait. Africa is shown with much of its interior left unmapped - that region was not mapped thoroughly until the latter part of the 19th century. An attractive an informative map surrounded with a keyboard style border. The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, or SDUK, was established in 1826 to provide scientific and other information to the British middle and working classes. The Family Atlas was published by Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The SDUK published several editions of its atlas. Dates I have seen quoted are 1829-32, 1840, 1844, and 1846. In 1848 the SDUK ceased to be active, but works which it had commissioned continued to be published.
