In 4, pp. VIII + 432 con 43 tavole fotografiche fuori testo in nero e a colori e 6 grandi panorami fotografici piu' volte ripiegati + 1 grande carta geografica della Terra del fuoco in apposita taschina editoriale separata. Tutta tela editoriale con la rarissima sovraccoperta fotografica, estremamente difficile da reperirsi, probabilmente per la frase a firma Mussolini che campoeggia al piatto anteriore e che potrebbe aver indotto molti possessori a eliminarla. Curiosa la figura di Alberto MAria De Agostini, sacerdote salesiano e missionario in Terra del Fuoco, uni' alla sua attivita' pastorale anche quella di esploratore, alpinista e naturalista. Sali' infatti il Monte S. lorenzo nel 1943 e organizzo' varie spedizioni con Carlo Mauri e Monzino. Importanti furono anche le sue ricerche cartografiche e naturalistiche.

Carta tratta dalla "Geographia di Claudio Tolomeo", a cura di Girolamo Ruscelli, pubblicata in Venezia in più edizioni tra il 1561 ed il 1598. La carta più significativa dell'atlante di Ruscelli è proprio questa Septentrionalium Partium Nova Tabula, basata sulla carta di Zeno dell'Atlantico settentrionale, inclusa per la prima volta in un libro di viaggi del 1558 e che descrive un viaggio precolombiano nel Nuovo Mondo compiuto nel 1380 dai ventimigliesi Nicolò e Antonio Zeno. La mappa introduce in modo molto dettagliato molte nuove isole fittizie, tra cui la Frislandia (con 32 località nominate), Deogeo, Estotilandia, Estlandia e il monastero di S. Tomas in Groenlandia. Molte di queste isole e luoghi mitici furono rappresentati sulle carte geografiche per secoli, soprattutto perché Gerard Mercator accettò il viaggio di Zeno come autentico e ne adottò gran parte nel suo famoso mappamondo del 1569 e nella sua mappa del Polo Nord del 1595. Abraham Ortelius, a sua volta, utilizzò la mappa come prototipo per la sua mappa dell'Atlantico settentrionale; Frobisher e Davis la utilizzarono per le loro esplorazioni rispettivamente negli anni 1570 e 1580. Le mappe per la Geografia di Ruscelli vennero incise dai fratelli Livio e Giorgio Sanuto. La peculiarità di queste mappe è che sono incise due per lastra e successivamente tagliate; questo il motivo per cui il segno del rame appare solo in tre lati della mappa. Il testo del Ruscelli e le sue carte sono considerati come il miglior atlante moderno fino alla prima versione del Thatrum Orbis Terrarum di Ortelius, 1570. Solo la loro enorme diffusione ne impedisce una valutazione sostenuta nel mercato antiquario. L'opera infatti ebbe una prima stesura nel 1561, stampata da Vincenzo Valgrisi che ne curò anche la ristampa del 1562. Tre sono le edizioni firmate da Giordano Ziletti (due nel 1564 e una del 1574), mentre nel 1597 viene edita dai fratelli Calignani. Tutte queste edizioni contengono 64 tavole. Nel 1598 e 1599 vengono alla luce le due edizioni curate da Giuseppe Rosaccio e stampate dagli Eredi di Melchior Sessa. Queste ultime due edizioni comprendono 69 tavole; sono infatti aggiunte la carta del planisfero e dei continenti di Giuseppe Rosaccio. Bibliografia P. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 29; W. Ginsberg; Printed Maps of Scandinavia and the Arctic, 19. Early map of the North Atlantic Ocean depicting many fictions islands. Girolamo Ruscelli's edition of Ptolemy's Geographia included newly engraved copperplates by Giulio and Livio Sanuto. The most significant map in Ruscelli's atlas is his Septentrionalium Partium Nova Tabula map, which is based upon the Zeno map of the North Atlantic, first included in a 1558 travel book, which describes a pre-Columbian voyage to the New World in 1380 by Ventians Nicolo and Antonio Zeno. The map introduces many new fictitious islands in great detail, including Frisland (with 32 places named), Deogeo, Estotiland, Estland, and the monastery of S. Tomas in Greenland. Many of these mythical islands and places were depicted on maps for centuries, mainly because Gerard Mercator accepted Zeno's voyage as authentic and adopted much of it in his famous large 1569 world map and his 1595 map of the North Pole. Ortelius in turn used the map as a prototype for his map of the North Atlantic. Frobisher and Davis accepted the map for their explorations in the 1570's and 1580's, respectively. The map first appeared in the 1561 Ruscelli edition of Ptolemy's Geografia. Ruscelli edition of Ptolemy's "Geographia", printed in Venice from 1561 to 1598. Ruscelli's Atlas is an expanded edition of Gastaldi's Atlas of 1548, which has been called the most comprehensive atlas produced between Martin Waldseemüller's Geographiae of 1513, and the Abraham Ortelius Theatrum of 1570. Ruscelli and Gastaldi's maps were beautifully engraved on copper, marking a turning point in the history of cartography. From that point forward, the majority of cartographic works used this medium. As it was a harder material than wood it gave the engraver the ability to render more detail. Gastaldi sought the most up-to-date geographical information available, making the modern maps in Ruscelli's Geographia among the best modern maps of the period. The maps are engraved by the Sanuto borthers. A fine copy, in good condition. Bibliografia P. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 29; W. Ginsberg; Printed Maps of Scandinavia and the Arctic, 19.

"Prima edizione". Cfr. Gay “Bibl. des ouvrages relatifs a l’Afrique et a l’Arabie”,336: “Ouvrage réimprimé souvent depuis”. “François-Auguste-René de Chateaubriand (1768-1848), scrittore francese. Di nobile famiglia, iniziò giovanissimo la carriera militare, interrotta dalla Rivoluzione; compì un viaggio in America; combatté nell’esercito degli emigrati, poi andò esule, sino al 1800, in Inghilterra, dove pubblicò l’Essai historique sur les révolutions.. Mirando a un’arte cristiana che reggesse il confronto con la bellezza classica, scrisse poi un ampio poema in prosa, "Les Martyrs" (1809), servendosi di elementi raccolti durante un viaggio in Oriente ("itineraire de Paris a Jerusalem", 1811).. Il suo esempio non fu estraneo alla formazione artistica di Flaubert”, così Diz. Treccani,III, pp. 131-132. Rare e lievi fioriture, altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.
