Description
A small map focused on the Nile Delta, where the Nile divides into several branches.
Included in the rare book : Wereld Spiegel, waer in vertoontword de Beschryvinge der Rijken Staten, ende vorstendommen des gantsen Aerdbodems which was a Dutch translation of "Les estats, empires et principautez de monde" by Pierre Davity.
The map is engraved by Jodocus Hondius before 1616 and first published in Petrus Bertius' revised pocket atlas Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum Libri septem.. edition of 1616.
According to Peter van der Krogt in Atlantes Neerlandici, volume IIIA, page 442, the plates were used to illustrate some other books with maps, such as Paullus Merula's Cosmographia Generalis, printed in Leiden by Isaac Elsevier and in 1621 for the Wereld Spiegel.
Cloppenburch probably had borrowed the plates, since in the 1630s they were in the possession of Willem Jansz. Blaeu; who probably acquired them along with the plates for Jodocus Hondius Jr.'s Appendix and used the plates again for the Merula edition of 1635/36. Joan Blaeu; used these plates to produce an Atlas Minor without text.
RARE.
Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612)
Jodocus Hondius was born in Wakken (West Flanders). He became a globe maker and map engraver. He was bought up in Ghent where he apprenticed as an engraver. In 1584 he went to London to escape the religious troubles in his home country. In England he met a number of leading scientists and geographers of the time. He produced a number of maps and portraits. In 1593 he moved to Amsterdam where many Antwerp printers, publishers and engravers had gone and together they established a new centre of cartography. He set up business in Kalverstraat. Assisted by his bother-in-law Petrus Kaerius, another talented engraver, he produced maps for the atlas Caert Thresoor. He also produced wall charts and globes. In 1604 Hondius bought the copper plates for the Mercator Atlas from the Mercator family. He continued to work on the atlas and produced 37 more maps which he published together with the originals in his World Atlas of 1606. The maps were beautifully engraved and many of them were more up to date than those of his rival Abraham Ortelius which appeared in the popular Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The Mercator Hondius Atlas was a great success and was to be published in a number of different languages.FAQ - Guarantee - Shipping
