Tavola astronomica tratta dall’A New Royal and Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, London 1770-1771, Printed of J. Cooke Si tratta di un’opera in due grandi volumi, cm 35,5 x 23,5, rispettivamente pubblicati a Londra nel 1770 e nel 1771, che raccoglie in ordine alfabetico alcune centinaia di voci illustranti sia le conoscenze scientifiche e tecnologiche che lo sviluppo delle arti e dei mestieri dell’epoca. Le singole voci, scritte dai più autorevoli esperti europei, sono state poi riviste e redazionate da M. Hinde per il settore relativo all’anatomia, medicina e chimica, da W. Squire per le matematiche, da T. Marshall per la Botanica e da Thomas Cooke per le materie umanistiche. Centouno tavole prodotte da relative incisioni su rame illustrano i due volumi. Le incisioni, equamente ripartite sui vari saperi, riproducono sia soggetti della natura che i più aggiornati strumenti usati per indagarla. Una considerevole parte riguarda invece gli strumenti di lavoro delle varie arti e mestieri. L’opera è giunta a noi in pochissimi esemplari, se ne conoscono soltanto ventitré copie, in quanto le piastre in rame furono in un primo momento confiscate, prima della stampa, dalla Court of Chancery of London in conseguenza del fallimento dell’editore di Bevis, Johan Neale. Le ventitré copie conosciute fanno parte di una tiratura prodotta successivamente nel 1786 da John Horsfall, l’esecutore testamentario di Bevis, con il titolo di Atlas Celeste. Per il momento è ancora da ricostruire la storia di come le dodici tavole contenute nell’A New Royal and Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences abbiano potuto anticipare di circa quindici anni la diffusione degli originali che imitano. L’enciclopedia, oggi abbastanza rara e quasi non indagata dalla critica, subì l’influsso della più conosciuta e più antica Cyclopaedia: Or An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences di Ephraim Chambers (ca. 1680-1740), pubblicata in Inghilterra nel 1728 (cfr. Felice Stoppa, Atlas Coelestis, http://www.atlascoelestis.com/Universal%20dictionary%20pagina.htm). Incisione in rame, finemente colorata a mano, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Astronomical plate taken from A New Royal and Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, London 1770-1771, Printed of J. Cooke This is a work in two large volumes, 35.5 x 23.5 cm, respectively published in London in 1770 and 1771, which collects in alphabetical order a few hundred entries illustrating both scientific and technological knowledge and the development of arts and crafts of the time. The single entries, written by the most authoritative European experts, were then revised and edited by M. Hinde for the field related to anatomy, medicine and chemistry, by W. Squire for mathematics, by T. Marshall for Botany and by Thomas Cooke for the humanities. One hundred and one plates produced by relative copper engravings illustrate the two volumes. The engravings, equally divided among the various fields of knowledge, reproduce both natural subjects and the most up-to-date instruments used to investigate them. A considerable part concerns instead the working tools of the various arts and crafts. The work has come down to us in very few copies, only twenty-three copies are known, because the copper plates were initially confiscated, before printing, by the Court of Chancery of London as a result of the bankruptcy of the publisher of Bevis, Johan Neale. The twenty-three known copies are part of a print run produced later in 1786 by John Horsfall, the executor of Bevis' will, under the title of Atlas Celeste. For the moment, the story of how the twelve plates contained in A New Royal and Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences were able to anticipate by about fifteen years the diffusion of the originals they imitate is still to be reconstructed. The encyclopedia, now quite rare and almost unexamined by critics, was influenced by the better known and older Cyclopaedia: Or An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences by Ephraim Chambers (ca. 1680-1740), published in England in 1728 (see Felice Stoppa, Atlas Coelestis, http://www.atlascoelestis.com/Universal%20dictionary%20pagina.htm).

Magnifico esemplare di questa rara carta del mondo di Philippe Galle, realizzata per la prima edizione dello Spieghel del Werelt, il primo atlante tascabile pubblicato nel 1577. Questa carta del mondo è una fedele ed accurata riduzione della prima mappa del mondo di Ortelius del 1570, che era la tavola di apertura del suo celebre atlante Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Shirley, 122; Koeman, Ort 1; Karrow: 1/6, van der Krogt AN: 0001:31A). La lastra incisa da Philippe Galle, reca la data del 1574, sebbene la prima edizione dell'Epitome (secondo il titolo che diventerà comune nei secoli successivi), sia stata pubblicata nel 1577.Questa mappa verrà utilizzata per le sole edizioni dell'Epitome edite dal 1577 al 1585, e sarà poi sostituita da una lastra più piccola, a partire dal 1588. A differenza delle altre carte dell'Epitome, il mappamondo ha un formato più largo. La citazione latina nel margine inferiore, già presente nel modello di Ortelius, è da Cicerone (Tusculanae Disputatianes IV. 1 7. 37) "Quid ei potest videri magnum in rebus humanis, cui aeternitas omnis, totiusque mundi nota sit magnitudo" ovvero "Che cosa, tra le vicende umane, può sembrare grande a colui al quale è nota la grandezza del mondo e l'eternità dell'universo?".La carta del mondo di Ortelius, incisa e firmata da Franciscus Hogenberg, è di fondamentale importanza per la storia della cartografia in quanto costituisce la PRIMA MAPPA DEL MONDO a essere realizzata per un atlante di formato uniforme e non composito, quali gli atlanti del Lafreri. Le fonti cartografiche della carta sono il mappamondo di Mercator del 1569, quello di Gastaldi del 1561 e il portolano dell'Atlantico di Diego Gutierrez. La forma ovale rimanda, invece, ad Appiano e Bordone.Esemplare tratto dalla seconda edizione in lingua francese de Le Miroir du Monde.Le Miroir du Monde è l’edizione in lingua francese in prosa dello Spieghel der Werelt, il primo atlante tascabile pubblicato nel 1577, in lingua olandese, da Philip Galle, con testo in rima curato da Peeter Heyns, e stampato dalla tipografia Plantin. Lo Spieghel der Werelt era una versione ridotta del Theatrum Orbis Terrarum di Ortelius.Le lastre, quasi tutte derivate dal Theatrum, furono disegnate e incise da Philip Galle. Due anni dopo, nel 1579, fu data alle stampe l’edizione in lingua francese in prosa, perché Heyns non aveva avuto il tempo necessario per la resa in versi, col titolo Le Miroir du Monde. Il successo di questa edizione francese, è provato proprio dalla seconda edizione pubblicata a soli 4 anni di distanza, nel 1583.Complessivamente Galle pubblicò 5 edizioni in lingua francese, di cui solo le prime due con il titolo Le Miroir du Monde; a partire dal 1588, e così per le edizioni del 1590 e del 1598, il titolo dell’opera fu modificato in Epitome du thétre du Monde d’Abraham Ortelius, e il nome di Peeter Heyns non figurò più sul frontespizio. Rispetto alla prima edizione del 1579, che conteneva 72 mappe, la seconda edizione fu aumentata di 11 nuove mappe, per un totale di 83 tavole.Dal 1577 al 1598, Galle & Heyns pubblicarono ben 11 edizione, di cui l’ultima – edita nell’anno della morte di Ortelius – conteneva ben 123 mappe. Fine example of Philippe Galle's rare map of the World, engraved for the first edition of his Spieghel del Werelt, the first miniature edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.This map is a neatly-engraved smaller copy of Ortelius' first world map plate, published in 1570, that is the first map of the Theatrum Orbis Terrrarum (Shirley, 122; Koeman, Ort 1; Karrow: 1/6, van der Krogt AN: 0001:31A). The Galle's plate is dated 1574 although the first printing of Galle's atlas did not taken place until 1577. The motto below the map is a quotation from Cicero (Tusculanae Disputatianes IV. 1 7. 37) Quid ei potest videri magnum in rebus humanis, cui aeternitas omnis, totiusque mundi nota sit magnitudo (For what human affairs can seem important to a man who keeps all eternity before his eyes and knows the vastness of the universe?). The worl map published by Galle is larger that the other maps in the atlas. The cartographic sources for the Ortelius world map are: Gerard Mercator's 1569, Gastaldi's 1561 world map and Diego Gutierrez' portolan map of the Atlantic. The oval shape goes back to Apianus and/or Bordonius. The world map by Ortelius, signed by Franciscus Hogenberg, is first one occurring in the first regular atlas the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum", so the map is of fundamental importance in the history of cartography.This map appeared only in the earliest editions of Ortelius' Epitome, published between 1577-1585 - and from 1588 was replaced by the much smaller Typus Orbis Terrarum.Shirley quotes the rarity fo this map as "S" (Scarce). Map published taken from the second French edition of ‘Le Miroir du Monde’, published by Galle & Heyns in 1583, printed by Plantin. Le Miror du Monde is the French transaltion of the Duch poems Spieghel der Werelt, the first modern pocket-atlas, published by Philip Galle with text by Peeter Heyns in 1577, based on Abraham Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The maps were drawn and engraved by Galle. Two years later, in 1579, Galle & Heyns published the first French edition: Heyns translated the Dutch poems into French prose because he did not find time to put them into rhyme. This French edition became very popular and in 1583 an amplified reprint appeared.Galle & Heyns published 5 French edition, two with the title Miroir, and three (1588, 1590, 1598) with the title Epitome du thétre du Monde d’Abraham Ortelius, that appeared from 1588 onwards (Peeter Heyns’ name no longer figures on the title pages of the Antwerp editions).Second French edition of this rare miniature atlas, "enlarged with eleven maps... six are double sized" (Koeman p. 275).Compared to the first edition of 1579, which contained 72 maps, the second edition was increased by 11 new maps, for a total of 83 plates.Between 1577 & 1598 Galle issued 11 editions, all printed by Christopher Plantin.

Carta della Tracia antica, che si estende da Bisanzio (Istanbul) e dallo stretto del Bosforo alla Macedonia, pubblicata da Abraham Ortleius.La regione comprende l'attuale Grecia nordorientale, la Bulgaria meridionale e la Turchia nord-occidentale.La mappa si basa sulla mappa di Gastaldi dell'Europa sudorientale e sulle informazioni di numerose fonti antiche, in particolare Erodoto, Plinio, Strabo, Appiano, Virgilio, Plutarco e Sidone. Opera tratta dal Parergon, il primo atlante storico mai pubblicato. Fu inizialmente concepito da Ortelius come appendice del suo Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ma visto il notevole successo di queste carte storiche divenne in seguito un lavoro indipendente e rimase la fonte principale di tutti i lavori simili per tutto il XVII secolo. Come sottolinea Koeman “il Parergon deve essere considerato come lavoro personale di Ortelius. Per quest'opera, infatti, diversamente dal Theatrum, non copiò le mappe di altri cartografi, ma ne disegnò lui stesso di nuove ed originali…prese luoghi, regioni e territori delle civiltà classiche illustrandone e spiegandone la storia, una materia molto vicina al suo cuore. Le mappe e le lastre del Parergon devono essere valutate come le più importanti incisioni che rappresentano il diffuso interesse per la geografia classica nel XVI secolo”. Il Theatrum Orbis Terrarum e che è considerato il primo vero “atlante” moderno. L’opera fu pubblicata in 7 lingue e 36 edizioni, per il quale – nel 1570 - Ortelius ottenne il privilegio, ovvero una sorta di diritto d'autore che impediva ad altri cartografi di pubblicare i propri lavori. Il Theatrum rappresentava il lavoro più avanzato del lavoro della descrizione cartografica. L’Ortelius vi raccolse il sapere geografico e cartografico del suo tempo, proponendo in 147 spettacolari tavole incise l’immagine più fedele del mondo allora conosciuto e, in alcune straordinarie “carte storiche”, regioni e itinerari tratti dalla letteratura, dalla mitologia, dalla tradizione. Incisione in rame, fine coloritura, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Fine map of ancient Thrace, extending from Byzantium (Istanbul) and the Bosphorus Straits to Macedonia, published by Abraham Ortleius. This finely engraved map shows Thrace, present-day north eastern Greece, southern Bulgaria, and northwest Turkey, and identifies main settlements with their original latinised names. The map is based on Gastaldi's 1560 map of South East Europe, and on information from numerous ancient sources, specifically Herodotus, Plinius, Strabo, Appianus, Virgilius, Plutarchus, and Sidonius. Portions of the Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, and Thrakikon Pelagos, all stipple engraved and fully colored, make this a very handsome map. Map taken from the Parergon, the first historical atlas ever published. It was initially conceived by Ortelius as an appendix to his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, but given the considerable success of these historical maps it later became an independent work and remained the main source of all similar works throughout the seventeenth century. Koeman wrote: "This atlas of ancient geography must be regarded as a personal work of Ortelius. For this work he did not, as in the Theatrum, copy other people's maps but drew the originals himself... He took many places and regions from the lands of classical civilization to illustrate and clarify their history, a subject very close to his heart... The maps and plates of the Parergon have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century." The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, which is considered the first true modern "Atlas". The work was published in 7 languages and 36 editions, for which - in 1570 - Ortelius obtained the privilege, a kind of copyright that prevented other cartographers from publishing his works. The Theatrum represented the most advanced work of cartographic description. Ortelius collected in it the geographical and cartographic knowledge of his time, proposing in 147 spectacular engraved plates the most faithful image of the world then known and, in some extraordinary "historical maps", regions and routes taken from literature, mythology, tradition. Copper engraving, contemporary coloring, in good condition. Van den Broecke #214.

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.
