Description
Rare fortification plan of the town of Valletta. Engraved by Paolo Forlani (active 1561-1577).
With hatching to highlight the ditch on the landward side of Valletta. It seems to be the fourth state according to D.Woodward, however, our copy has not the signature like in the first state.

Underneath the plan a text : Questa Citta principiata dal R.mo Mons.r frà Giouannj di Valetta detto parisotto Gran Maestro della religione Gierosolo.na si chiamara Valette et si edifica sopra il Colle ò monte detto di S.to Ermo nell'jsola di / Malta, quale colle è alli altri à se conuicinj, eminente, et è jsolato atorno, eccetto dale della parte uerso Libecchio, quale è fronte, nella terra ferma, Nella qual fronte si è ordinato farui quattro baluardi è fosso / come nel disegno si uede quali baluardi sono tagliatj, è cauati nella rocca uiua, et ancora che sieno di cosi ferma, e stabile material, non dimeno se li fa fianco di Canne .15. cioe .10. per la spalla et .5. per / la piazza Bassa, quel piazza sara larga Canne .6. con quello che si acquisita dentro la cortina, per darli maggior Commodita, con la scala che è di Canna cinquanta: Tutto jl Circuito quale ua à Co[n]gio[n]gersi / con Sant'Ermo, si puo misurare secondo l'annotata misura: Et Nel formare esso Circuito si è attessa la natura et sito del monte, facendogli financhi di Canne .12. con piazze e spalle, ancora che non sia per / li lati sotto posto ad assaltj, essendo la fronte altiss:a ne occorre jn tal sito alzare di fabrica, eccetto che jn certi luoghi per uguagliare, perche alzandosi, si sotto metaria, a Batterie, è Ruine che empierieno / il fosso, sproprotionerebbe, per non esserui uia d'acco[m]modare la naturale altezza, con la declinante bassezza, et sarebbe una grossa, et jnutile speza, da non hauer mai fine, et se bene jn essa pianta sono dise= / gnati Caualieri noui, non se ne faranno di fabrica se non dui che stanno jn fronte di Libechio, fra quali è la porta. li Altri si sono disegnatj per Conseruare piazze per Artegliaria, accio tali luoghi non / siano con altre cose occupatj, per che detti siti sono al presente di Natura, e forma di Caualieri: Sarebbe da dire molta sopra la qualita, bonta, e bellezza, di detto monte, quali sono tanti che poco più, si puo desi= / derare, ma per non tediare il lettore si lassano / Jn Venetia per Paulo Forlani Veronese, jntagliata accomodo d'ogni uno. all'jnsegna della Colon[n]a. l'Anno .1566. followed by a scale bar of the lenght of 0.1 canna, with the notes 'Dieci di questa sopra signata misura fa una Canna'.

Collector's item. A unique opportunity to acquire a fine example from a town view from the early Lafreri school.!
