Although published as a complete work by itself it was so successful that Bieling published a companion volume covering different regions in 1811: Schilderung der Vornehmsten Völker.The title-page mentions the work is written by the author of Unterhaltende Erzählungen für das erste Kindesalter 1809 apparently the same anonymous author who also wrote Julius merkwürdige Abentheuer 1813-1817 and Das goldene Buch für Kinder 1811 all published by Bieling in Nürnberg.The boards show very minor signs of wear the title-page shows traces of earlier endleaves some very minor occasional spotting.

In Venetia, per Gioan. Baptista Pedrezano, 1548, in-8, legatura seicentesca in piena pergamena floscia, cc. [8], 214, [64], la c. DD8 bianca. Con bordi laterali del frontespizio decorati in xilografia, bella figura di Tolomeo che osserva il cielo impresso in xilografia al recto della seconda carta, illustrazioni xilografiche n.t. e 60 carte geografiche incise in rame su tavole doppie f.t. (incluse due carte mondiali). Le tavole recano il testo esplicativo sul verso. Due marche in xilografia dell'editore Pedrezano: una alla fine del testo e una alla fine dell'indice, sull'ultima carta del volume. Al colophon, posto alla fine del testo (carta c. DD7r): "In Venetia, ad instantia di messer Giovanbattista Pedrezano libraro al segno della torre a pie del ponte di Rialto stampato per Nicolo Bascarini, 1547, del mese di ottobre". Prima edizione con le carte geografiche incise da Giacomo Gastaldi; prima edizione della traduzione italiana di Pietro Andrea Mattioli. "This important edition, printed in a portable format and thus the first to address the needs of travellers, contains the first full series of Ptolemaic maps to appear since the incunable editions of the preceding century. The maps of the present edition were engraved by the prolific Giacomo Gastaldi (c.1500-c.1565), cosmographer to the Republic of Venice; while Gastaldi based his engravings of the 26 Ptolemaic maps on the woodcuts by Münster which illustrated the 1540 Basel edition, the 34 modern maps (which are interposed between the ancient maps), were of his own design, and contain significant innovations. The Americas appear, linked by a land extension to Asia, in the modern World map (map 59) and in the 'Carta marina' (map 60; the first sea chart depicting the modern world) and five maps are devoted exclusively to the Americas. These five maps are the earliest printed American regional maps: they include the first separate map of the South American Continent ('Tierra nova', map 54); the earliest separate map of the Gulf Coast, Mexico, and the present south-western United States ('Nueva Hispania', map 55); the earliest individual map of the east coast of North America ('Tierra nueva [del Bacalaos]', map 56), showing the discoveries of Verrazzano and Cartier. The translation by the botanist Pietro Andrea Mattioli appears in this edition only; it was superseded by Girolamo Ruscelli's translation, which was first published in 1561 and frequently reprinted. The only earlier Italian version was Berlinghieri's verse paraphrase (Florence: ca. 1482)". L'esemplare si presenta in buone condizioni, tranne che per la carta geografica n. 54 (Tierranova) che presenta degli strappi restaurati nel campo inciso, all'angolo superiore sinistro, con lievi perdite e, nell'angolo inferiore destro, un piccolo tassello di carta che reintegra, in maniera manoscritta, una piccola porzione mancante di campo inciso. La tavola n. 55 reca due strappetti ben restaurati, senza alcuna perdita.

In folio (mm. 425 x 288), p. pergamena moderna con legacci, 4 cc.nn. (compreso il bel frontespizio inc. in rame da Oliviero Gatti, e l’Indice), 24 pp.num. (di descrizione generale dell’Italia), con 61 carte geografiche dedicate agli stati italiani, pure inc. in rame e a doppia pag. [salvo 2 a una pag. (Territorio Cremasco - Il Cadorino) e 1 in ‘quarto’ (Elba isola)]. L'opera è dedicata da Fabio Magini a Ferdinando Gonzaga, Duca di Mantova e di Monferrato. Al “verso” della 4a c.nn. si ha la scritta: In Bologna, MDCXXX, presso Clemente Ferroni. La prima edizione si pubblicò nel 1620 a Bologna, per Sebastiano Bonomi; le edizioni successive recarono al frontespizio la data dell'edizione originale portando invece al verso della 4a carta la data reale. "Seconda edizione" di questo celebrato Atlante. Cfr. Almagià “L’Italia di G.A. Magini” (1922), p. V: “La più vasta e importante opera cartografica sull’Italia.. messa insieme dall’astronomo padovano Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617)” e a p. 7: “Ristampa che porta il nome dello stampatore bolognese Clemente Ferroni.. Il Ferroni dovette poi, negli anni successivi, continuare a dar fuori l’opera, perchè se ne hanno molteplici esemplari ma senza più la data 1630 e accresciuti invece di un ritratto del Magini.. Il testo della descrizione dell’Italia è ovunque il medesimo, e quel che più importa, le carte sono sempre identiche e riprodotte sempre dagli stessi rami”. Cat. Piantanida,1350: "Atlante rinomato e pregiato al quale l'A. dedicò gran parte delle sue fatiche nell'ultimo ventennio della sua vita.. egli preparò carte in gran parte originali, delineate cioè in base a rilievi ufficiali fatti eseguire dai vari governi italiani e che egli riuscì a procurarsi per il benevolo interessamento dei Gonzaga. Il lavoro di raccolta, di coordinazione, di revisione e di disegno e incisione non fu molto semplice: l'A. dovette mantenere presso di sè abili incisori specializzati; alcune carte furono stampate e messe in circolazione isolatamente per saggio; nel 1608 fu pubblicata col titolo di "Italia Nuova" una carta generale, insigne lavoro di sintesi; ma la definitiva elaborazione dell'intero atlante tardò ancora e la stampa era appena avviata quando l'A. mori'. Esso pertanto fu pubblicato postumo dal figlio Fabio. Questo atlante esercitò un'immensa influenza: le sue tavole furono ricopiate, contraffatte, imitate moltissime volte in Italia e all'estero; entrarono, senza modificazioni, a far parte di atlanti stranieri notissimi, come quelli del Bleau; in Italia rimasero monumento insuperato per oltre un secolo”. Le seguenti 5 carte presentano: Ducato di Mantova (aloni e fiorit.) - Ducato di Ferrara (qualche alone solo margin.) - Dominio Fiorentino e Stato della Chiesa (restauri per picc. strappi margin.) - Regno di Napoli (con alone) e, sul margine di alc. carte, sbavature di inchiostro tipografico. A parte questi difetti, il ns. esemplare è ben conservato.

Single pedestal globe with horizon ring armature & meridian all of wood wear and staining on meridian at point where fits into stand some chipping at extremities else fine; globe with vibrant original color and clear sharp patina; some abrasion & losses mostly in lower and upper extremities; overall very good plus condition.<br /><br />An attractive very capably executed table or desk globe in the distinctive style of the Delamarche firm <i>"the most successful French entrepreneurs in maps and globes"</i> Dekker/ van der Krogt. This was an original work by the son Felix who succeeded his father in the management of the firm in 1817. The globe is geographically up-to-date notably in the South Pacific and Alaska with information from then recent Russian voyages such as Krusenstern's. Related to this at the time the globe appeared and reflected on it Europeans were beginning to differentiate between various regions of the Pacific. These were based on a better understanding of cultural and other differences between the peoples of various areas encountered on these recent voyages. For example in 1831 the French explorer Dumont d'Urville proposed the use of the terms "Micronesia" and "Melanesia" for various parts of the Pacific as distinguished from Polynesia. Printed dashed lines on this globe labeled "Division Oceanique" roughly approximate the three eventually accepted divisions of what is referred to as the South Pacific though the regions are not named on the globe. Delamarche also clearly identifies on the globe the more traditional divisions of the Pacific between "Grand Ocean Boreal" "Grand Ocean Equinoxial" and "Grand Ocean Austral."<br /><br />The Delamarche firm was the first to successfully reach a fairly sizable general market of globe buyers. It accomplished this by reducing the cost of constructing globe stands and other parts while maintaining a high level of quality in the maps of their globes which are cleanly and attractively engraved. Traditional brass meridians were replaced by wooden ones and the horizon rings and armatures supporting the rings were greatly simplified and made from either wood or stiff board. Also the firm generally used simpler single-pedestal stands rather than four-legged designs. Yet as this well-preserved example demonstrates Delamarche's design and materials proved to be very durable.<br /><br />Charles-Francois Delamarche 1740-1817 the founder of the family firm was the successor of the great map and globe-making family the Robert De Vaugondys as is cited in the title of this globe. Delamarche in fact seemed to have cornered the globe market in France by also incorporating the stocks of Jean Fortin and Jean Lattre. Delamarche's son Felix took over the firm upon his father's death and managed it until 1848 when Gosselin succeeded him. The firm continued well into the latter 19th century under yet another Delamarche descendent.<br /><br />Dekker/ Van der Krogt <i>Globes from the Western World</i> pp. 63 74; Dekker E. <i>Globes at Greenwich</i> pp. 321-25; Suarez T. <i>Early Mapping of the Pacific</i> p. 25.
