Rara carta del mondo pubblicata separatamente da Luigi Rosaccio. La carta deriva dal planisfero murale di suo padre, Giuseppe Rosaccio (1597, Bifolco-Ronca n. 31). Rodney Shirley nota che “This curiously elaborate world map is to be found in a speculative world geography by Giuseppe Rosaccio... The right-hand hemisphere is surrounded by bands denoting the climates; the left-hand one by lively windheads and celestial constellations. In the centre cusp is a dyspeptic portrait of the young Duke Cosimo II de Medici, and in the spandels are circular representations of the four elements. The lower part of the engraving consists of a neatly engraved Ptolemaic map of the world and a set of spherical diagrams showing the zones, meridians, and geographical features”. La mappa è molto rara; questo è un esempio del secondo stato, con una barba aggiunta al ritratto di Cosimo de Medici. Priva di datazione, la carta risulta stampata a Firenze, dove la famiglia Rosaccio si era trasferita dopo il periodo veneziano, il 28 novembre 1606, ottenendo il privilegio della stampa per le proprie opere - vedi Casali, Il 'Teatro "del mondo. GR (ca 1530-1620) tra Firenze e Bologna, in L'Europa divisa e i nuovi mondi. Per Adriano Prosperi, II, a cura di M. Donattini - G. Marcocci - S. Pastore, Pisa 2011, p. 56. Aloisio, Aluigio, Alovigi o probabilmente Luigi Rosaccio, figlio del cosmografo Giuseppe Rosaccio, si formò a Firenze, forse con Antonio Tempesta, alla corte dei Medici. Fin dai primi anni Novanta, Giuseppe Rosaccio si stabilì a Firenze, dove il 13 luglio 1594 entrò nella compagnia dell'"Arte dei medici e speziali" (Casali, 2011, p. 56 e n. 15 p. 62) come venditore di libri, ponendosi al servizio e sotto la protezione del Granduca dal suo 'banco' aperto sulla prestigiosa Piazza del Palazzo e dedicando alcune delle sue opere più significative a Ferdinando, Cosimo II e alla granduchessa Cristina. Sempre nella città dei Medici, il 28 novembre 1606 ottenne il privilegio di stampare per le proprie opere (Casali, 2011, pp. 56 s.). Luigi Rosaccio si cimentò nell'arte incisoria, traducendo in stampa le numerose opere del padre. Nel 1610 realizzò il ciclo di illustrazioni incluse nella descrizione delle "Esequie d'Arrigo Quarto cristianissimo re di francia e di Navarra celebrate in Firenze dal Serenissimo DON COSIMO II Gran Duca di Toscana". Descritto da Giuliano Giraldi pubblicato a Firenze da Bartolomeo Sermartelli, importante come testimonianza visiva del complesso delle decorazioni più che per le qualità stilistiche e tecniche, non particolarmente brillanti. Sempre al periodo fiorentino sono legate le tre splendide carte geografiche raffiguranti l'Italia, una grande carta che precede l'Italia Nova di Giovanni Antonio Magini, la Toscana (la cosiddetta "Carta del Cavallo"), e il Piemonte. Bibliografia Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #268. Rare separately published map of the World by Luigi Rosaccio, after the of the largest World Map of his father Giuseppe Rosaccio (1597, Bifolco-Ronca n. 31). Rodney Shirley notes: “This curiously elaborate world map is to be found in a speculative world geography by Giuseppe Rosaccio... The right-hand hemisphere is surrounded by bands denoting the climates; the left-hand one by lively windheads and celestial constellations. In the centre cusp is a dyspeptic portrait of the young Duke Cosimo II de Medici, and in the spandels are circular representations of the four elements. The lower part of the engraving consists of a neatly engraved Ptolemaic map of the world and a set of spherical diagrams showing the zones, meridians, and geographical features” The map was engraved by Giuseppe’s relative Alovisio Rosaccio and is very scarce. This is an example of the second state, with a beard added to the portrait of de Medici. Without the data, the map is printed in Florence, where the Rosaccio family was transferred after the Venetian period, on 28 November 1606, obtaining the privilege of printing for their works - see Casali, Il 'Teatro "del mondo. GR (ca 1530-1620) tra Firenze e Bologna, in L’Europa divisa e i nuovi mondi. Per Adriano Prosperi, II, a cura di M. Donattini - G. Marcocci - S. Pastore, Pisa 2011, p. 56. Aloisio, Aluigio, Alovigi or probably Luigi Rosaccio, son of the cosmographer Giuseppe Rosaccio, was trained in Florence, perhaps with Antonio Tempesta, at the Medici court. Since the early nineties, Giuseppe Rosaccio settled in Florence, where on 13 July 1594 joined the company of “Arte dei medici e speziali (Art of doctors and apothecaries)” (Casali, 2011, p. 56 and n. 15 p. 62) as a seller of books, placing himself at the service and under the protection of the Grand Duke from his 'bench' opened on the prestigious Piazza del Palazzo and dedicating some of his most significant works to Ferdinando, Cosimo II and the Grand Duchess Cristina.. Still in the city of the Medici, on 28 November 1606 he obtained the privilege of printing for his own works (Casali, 2011, pp. 56 s.). Luigi Rosaccio tried his hand at engraving art, translating his father's numerous works into a print. In 1610 he made the cycle of illustrations included in the description of the “Esequie d’Arrigo Quarto cristianissimo re di francia e di Navarra celebrate in Firenze dal Serenissimo DON COSIMO II Gran Duca di Toscana”. Described by Giuliano Giraldi published in Florence by Bartolomeo Sermartelli, important as visual testimony of the complex of the decorations rather than for the stylistic and technical qualities, not particularly brilliant. Always in the Florentine period are related to the three wonderful geographic maps depicting Italy, a great map preceding the Italia Nova of Giovanni Antonio Magini, Tuscany (the so-called “Carta del Cavallo”), and Piedmont.

7 colour printed maps. Scale 1:50,000 and 1:1,000,000. In English and Arabic. Folded. First edition. A set of exceedingly rare UAE topographic maps, compiled from 1:30,000 scale aerial photography taken during 1986 and 1987, presumably based on UK versions. The maps show international boundaries, tracks and paths, bridges, historical landmarks, schools, tree and date plantations, mangroves, oil and gas injection wells, mosques and cemeteries, emergency telephones, water pipelines and tanks, cliffs and rocky areas, as well as other details encountered in the vast desert. Occasionally the average relative height of the dunes is given, reaching up to 45 metres at certain points. - The 6 maps of the 1:50,000 series are sheets number NF-40-01-14, NF-40-01-22, NF-40-01-34, and NF-40-02-11, as well as NG-40-13-54, and NG-40-13-63. The maps of this series "were used extensively for UTM [Universal Transverse Mercator projection coordinate system] Zone 39 rectification. These maps have a local UAE national grid which is equivalent to the UTM grid if a bias of 2,150,000 m in the y-dimension and 150,000 m in the x-dimension are added" (Jensen). The single map of the 1:100,000 series, dating from 1992, is sheet number NG-40-136. - Some pencil marks and circles. The 1:50,000 scaled maps have a stamped six-digit number and a round stamp in Arabic type on the reverse; the 1:100,000 scaled map has a square stamp in Arabic type on the reverse. A few small tears and creases; occasional adhesive tape; paper variously pierced. No copies traceable in libraries internationally.

Carta tratta dalla prima edizione della Cosmographia Universalis di Paulus Merula, stampata ad Amsterdam nel 1605. Le mappe usate per illustrare la prima edizione della Cosmografia di Merula sono realizzate nel 1598 da Jodocus Hondius e Pieter Van den Keere (Kaerius) e quindi utilizzate dall'editore Cornelis Claesz per illustrare lavori di Apian, Linschoten e Merula. Incisione in rame, inserita in una pagina di testo, in perfette condizioni.

Carta geografica tratta dal Tabularum Geographicarum contractarum libri septem di Petrus Bertius, edizione latina del 1616. L'opera contiene 219 carte che illustrano questa nuova versione della geografia del Bertius, per la prima volta pubblicata nel 1612 con le carte di Barent Langenes. Le carte derivano dal grande atlante di Mercator/Hondius, delle quali molte rappresentano una semplice riduzione. "After the death of Cornelis Claesz in 1609, Jodocus Hondius II became the new publisher of the work, composed by 7 parts in 1, with engraved title-page and 220 full-page engraved maps in text. All the maps were newly engraved and slightly larger in size, because Hondius was not able to acquire the original plates. With the new plates the work was definitely improved and enjoyed a growing demand of the public, which at that time had the choice between the Atlas Minor by Mercator and Bertius' Tabularum Geographicarum. The 219 plates, with the oval world map appearing twice, were produced to illustrate a new version of the geography of Bertius, published in 1616. According to King, their correct attribution is by Hondius, after Mercator and Hondius, taken from Bertius, who was only responsible for revising his text again" [cfr. G. King, Miniature Antique Maps]. Incisione in rame, perfette condizioni. A superior rival to the pocket Ortelius atlas appeared about 1598, under the imprint of Barent Langenes and Cornelis Claesz. Claesz also published the Tabularum Geographicarum contractarum libri septem, edition with texy by Petrus Bertius, in 1600.

Previous owner's bookplate to front end paper. No marks or inscriptions. Extremely faint crease to front cover, none to rear or to spine. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 80pp. This work of full-page colour photographs by Paul Graham deals with the small but insistent signs of deep political division within the landscape of Northern Ireland in the 1980s. 'The foreword by Declan McGonagle contrasts the work against the melodramatic imagery of the North and places the Troubles in a broader framework of the marginalisation and denial of power that has been the hallmark of British cononialism for centuries. The main text by Gerry Badger examines the genre of reportage photography and positions this work within a new generation of intelligent documentary photography that represents ideas rather than furnishing simple visual records or illustrating words.'
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.
