Description

A unique opportunity to acquire a fine example from a map from the early Lafreri school. It was the custom for Italian map sellers to bind together available maps into a composite atlas, by other publishers as well as themselves.

These composites, often tailored for the individual purchaser, have come to be known by the generic title of Lafreri Atlases. Rodolfo Gallo calls Camocio "one of the most important printers of geographical maps in the 16th century," while Rodney Shirley hails his 1567 world map as "a masterful piece of elegant Venetian copper engraving."

Complete title : MAG.co AC INSIGNI / VIRO MARCO ANTONIO / RADICI. / Paulus Forlani Veronensis .S.D. / Cum nuper ad nostras manus Marce Antoni prestantissime, totius / Galliæ cum circuniacentibus locis, egregia quædan delineatio, / ad Orontij, Mathematici hanc celeberrimi, imitationem, summa dili= / gentia, depicta peruenerit; mei muneris esse duxi, eam in æs incisa[m], / rerum et Cosmographiæ præcipue, studiosis impertire, ac tibi imprimis, / in omni genere studiorum maximè uersato, cuique ob singularem in me, / ac in omnes uirtutibus deditos beneuolentiam, nihil non debere fateor, / deditare. Quando quiden rem studiosis omnibus optatissimam me factu= / rum confido, cum oculis, mea opera (clarius ni fallor q hactenus) con= / tueri dabitur, id quod sparsim, cum apud uetustos, tum neotericos scri= / ptores repertum, mente: tantum licuit contemplari. Vt enim imagines / egregia arte pictæ, et si intuitu plurimum obiectent, uiua tamen effi gie ad- / hibita, longe magis afficiant, ita quoq obiectametu[m] uel maxima ubi illa / quæ ex uaris studio, multaq lectione, mente concepimus, exemplo ob= / lato intueri contingit. Est enim Gallia, inter cæteras Europæ partes / admodum præclara, omnium rerum cælesti munere, quæ ad uitæ / usum spectant, abundatissima, cuius quidem populi, ob aeris clæ= / mentiam, lactis ueluti candorem referentes, Galli nomen sortiti sunt, / franci tamen postea etiam nuncupati. Hæc autem in tres partes / ab Historicis diuisa fuit, in Belgicam uidelicet, Celticam, et Aquita= / nicam, Aremoricam prius dictam, quæ tota partim montibus ac flu= / minibus, parti mari cincta ac egregie munita hic uidere datur. / Cuius latitudo mill .584. a Massilia quæ metropolis est, ad mare / sita, eius partis quam Narbonensem uocant Meridiem / uersus ad Oceanum usq Septentrionalem, longtitudo autem mill .520. / ab Alpibus, ex parte orientis, ad Oceanum usq occidentem uer= / sus, ut dilucide satis, in hac nostra, omnium absolutissma ta= / bella, conspicere datur. Sed quia hic non datur locus multa / enarrandi, historicos consulat, qui originem ac res, diuersis / in ea temporibus præclare gestas scire desiderat. Nostrum ue= / ro hunc laborem, pro tua humanitate immensa ingenijq / candore summo, cum studiosis omnibus, æqui boniq / consulas oro. / VENETIIS / ex / æneis formis Bolognini / Zalterij. M. D. LXVI.
