‎Amsterdam c. 1602. Copper engraving 8 x 11 cm engraved by Philip Galle black and white English text on the verso. Two English printers dipped a toe in the vernacular atlas market at approximately the same time with pocket editions of the Ortelius atlas: �These two little books were the earliest world atlases to be published in England and the earliest world atlases with English text� R.A. Skelton "Bibliographical Note" in Abraham Ortelius The Theatre of the Whole World. Amsterdam 1968. Both are now extremely rare and they use different series of maps: Shawe used the maps by Arsenius Norton used the older series by Philip Galle. Shawe's epitome was certainly published before the death of Elizabeth I in March 1603; Norton's is dedicated to Mr. Richard Gargrave who was knighted by King James in 1603 so his atlas was published in early 1603 or before. It is generally dated to 1602 although the date 1601 has also been suggested. They were in any case published competitively within months of each other.

Bound in contemporary vellum over flexible boards head slightly chipped; early signature on t-p. Woodcut 'golden compass' device of the Plantin press on title. Generally good. First edition of this early modern geographical dictionary published alongside the first Plantin edition of Ortelius' successful Theatrum orbis terrarum Antwerp 1579 and listing thousands of names both ancient and modern for "peoples regions islands great and small towns mountains foothills forests seas bays lakes" etc. depicted in the atlas. Earlier versions of the Synonymia had previously appeared as indices to the atlas containing a little over 2000 entries; "in all this first version of Ortelius' geographical dictionary in the form of a separate book includes approximately 10000 entries" Meurer. Ortelius' methodology in the present volume differs from that of his earlier indices: a parallel glossary of non-Latin names has been turned into a bilingual appendix and Ortelius relies almost completely on classical authors quoting moderns only when he cannot go straight to the source. The significance of these alterations for the author's role not as mapmaker but as linguist and lexicographer is hard to overstate: his introduction declares that he undertook the new Synonymia largely out of frustration at the scholarly inadequacy of current Latin lexica including earlier editions of his own which frequently printed inexact or even nonexistent terms sometimes on dodgy authority.

‎Tartariae sive magni chami regni typus.‎

‎Antwerp: Anthonis Coppens van Diest 1573 Single sheet 16 4/8 x 21 2/8 inches full margins showing the platemark. Latin text on verso. Fine engraved map of Russia Tartary and Japan the title and legend within fine mannerist strapwork cartouches the ocean decorated with galleons and a flying fish with fine hand-colour in full. Each succeeding decade following the first New World discoveries created its own revolution of knowledge but a watershed in the growth and illustration of geographical information was the atlas published in 1570 by Abraham Ortelius a businessman native to Antwerp. The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was the first atlas in the modern sense of the word as Ortelius compiled the best existing maps re-engraved them on a standardized format and included them with text in one volume. This was a landmark innovation and the Theatrum was arguably the first printed production to have a major impact on the world perspective of contemporary Europeans. Despite their relationship as competitors Ortelius and his fellow cartographer Gerard Mercator were close friends and together they represented the major proponents of the most celebrated period in the history of early-modern mapmaking. Ortelius's maps are rightly considered among the most beautiful ever produced and the seamless combination of science and art is nowhere more visible than in his landmark map of Tartary. Although the element that first strikes a viewer is the high visual appeal of the brightly colored and finely engraved map it was in fact an extremely sophisticated summary of the most advanced geographical knowledge of Ortelius's time. Ortelius had gathered maps by the best existing contemporary cartographers including Mercator Giacomo Gastaldi and Olaus Magnus in order to assess the most recent strides in delineating the shape of the continent. As a result of his discerning judgment in sorting geographical fact from geographical fiction this map was ultimately one of the most accurate made available to late 16th-century Europeans. The Kingdom of the Great Khan. Whilst much of the nomenclature is derived from Marco Polo this is one of the first printed maps to attempt to define the relationship between the Continental landmasses of Asia and America in the North Pacific. Shows Eastern Asia beyond the Caucasus with its Eastern coastline including much of Polo's China including the fabled city of Quinzay. Japan appears center right in one of half a dozen outlines used by Ortelius for the archipelago in the Theatrum. Honshu and Shikoku are increasingly well defined with the indented coastline of Kyushu shown as a number of smaller Islands and with the Ryukyus and Formosa to the south. To the north are the fabled Straits of Anian first identified by Gastaldi in 1561 and fortuitously corresponding quite closely with the present-day Bering Strait and still providing the prospect of a northeast passage via Arctic Russia. The Northwest coast of America is shown with the Baja Gulf and peninsula the name California being employed for perhaps the first time on a printed map at its southern tip. Fine example of this popular and influential map. Accompanying the advanced geographical knowledge that the map presented is an amazing wealth of visual detail. The maps of Ortelius boast examples of the most beautiful Renaissance strapwork ever engraved visible in the decorative title cartouche and the dedication which is crowned with two nude allegorical figures. Rightly celebrated for unequalled beauty as much as for outstanding discovery this map represents a monumental moment in the history of mapping. REFERENCES: Van den Broecke 163.

Perrette his sale Christie's New York 5th April 2016 lot 31. THE FINAL FRENCH EDITION OF ORTELIUS'S THEATRUM WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE AND SUPERB COLOUR THROUGHOUT A presentation copy to Antoine Blondel Vicomte de Vadencourt with the margins of each page ruled in red probably in 1600 the date that appears on the coat of arms printed directly onto the verso of the "Privilege" leaf and his supras libros and monograms on the binding. Vadencourt came from a distinguished aristocratic family whose seat was on the banks of the Ouse at Vadencourt or Waudencort. He was an adviser to the Parisian Parliament of Henri IV and died in 1618 without direct heirs. In 1650 the Spaniards destroyed the Vadencourt castle and two years later the village was looted by the troops of the Duke of Lorraine. First published in French in 1572 with only 70 maps on 53 map-sheets this enlarged edition includes a number of important maps. The world map used in this edition is printed from Ortelius's third and final "Typus orbis terrarium" plate Shirley 122:3-1 which greatly improved the delineation of the southwest coastline of South America and depicted the Solomon Islands for the first time. Also included is the landmark map "America Sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio" America or New World Newly Described and "Maris Pacifici" the Pacific Ocean which was first included by Ortelius in his "Additamentum" in 1590. It is the first printed map to be devoted to the Pacific Ocean and also includes an early depiction of the west coast of North America Japan and New Guinea. Nova Hispania Mexico and the California peninsula are shown quite accurately for the time. Primarily however the map celebrates the achievements of Magellan the first to traverse the Pacific Ocean and to discover the strait at the southern tip of South America that would come to be named in his honor. Magellan's ship "Victoria" is depicted in the Pacific along with a celebratory Latin inscription. The map is unusually centered on the Pacific itself rather than on any landmass thus showing the ocean in its entirety as it stretches from Asia to America. "All the elements of the modern atlas were brought to publication in Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". This substantial undertaking assembled. the best available maps of the world by the most renowned and up-to-date geographers. each of Ortelius' maps was engraved specifically for his atlas according to uniform formats" Shirley. Ortelius first published his "Theatrum�" arguably the first atlas in the modern sense of the word in 1570 with 70 seventy copper engravings on fifty-three double-folio pages. A businessman native to Antwerp Ortelius compiled the best existing maps re-engraved them on a standardized format and included them with the text in one volume. But by 1570 he had been dealing in maps and charts for more than twenty years. The death of Ortelius' father in 1535 who had been a wealthy merchant seems to have placed his family in financial difficulties. When Ortelius was as young as 19 he is recorded as having joined the Guild of St. Luke as 'afsetter' "or colourist of maps and prints. He seems to have reached a very advanced level of skill in this craft as some customers continued to insist on buying atlases coloured by him personally at a time when he had already developed into a publisher and cartographer/merchant� Ortelius also became a trader in books prints and maps. Much of this trading had to do with the house of Plantin subsequently publisher of the 'Theatrum'�Soon he was attending the book fair in Frankfurt to buy and sell books maps and prints for others as well as for himself. He first met Gerard Mercator there in 1554 which marked the state of a life-long professional relationship and personal friendship� " van den Broecke page 14. Through his work Ortelius became quite the cosmopolitan he travelled extensively to France Germany Switzerland Austria Hungary Italy England and Ireland and as a result had command of several languages. With the publication of the "Theatrum" came tremendous success and wealth. Giving full credit to the original cartographers the "Theatrum" was so successful that it was printed three times in 1570 alone. In 1574 Ortelius retained the position of Royal Cosmographer to Phillip II and was given a fine gold necklace worth 1000 ducats. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions and the 7 languages: Latin German Flemish French Spanish English and Italian. Alden & Landis 598/75.

Despite lacking the title-page supplied in facsimile along with A2 this is a handsome copy of this comprehensive atlas with beautiful hand-colouring. The world map "Typus orbis terrarum" is Shirley 122 plate 3 state 1 with the distinctive bulge in the Chilean coastline now removed with New Guinea as a separate island with the imaginary great south land "Terra Australis Nondum Cognita" covering the southernmost latitudes and with the Terra del Fuego and Beach peninsulas marked. "Americae sive Novi Orbis Nova Descriptio" shows North and South America with the bulge removed from the coastline of Chili but New Guinea and Terra del Fuego are still shown as peninsulas of the great southern land.

Maps relating to Australia are "Asia Nova Descriptio" which shows New Guinea as a separate island and the north coast of Australia as "Terrae Incognitae Australis"; and "Indiae Orientalis Insularumque Adiacientium typus". "All the elements of the modern atlas were brought to publication in Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". This substantial undertaking assembled. the best available maps of the world by the most renowned and up-to-date geographers. each of Ortelius' maps was engraved specifically for his atlas according to uniform formats" Shirley. Ortelius first published his "Theatrum�" arguably the first atlas in the modern sense of the word in 1570 with 70 seventy copper engravings on fifty-three double-folio pages. A businessman native to Antwerp Ortelius compiled the best existing maps re-engraved them on a standardized format and included them with the text in one volume. But by 1570 he had been dealing in maps and charts for more than twenty years. The death of Ortelius' father in 1535 who had been a wealthy merchant seems to have placed his family in financial difficulties. When Ortelius was as young as 19 he is recorded as having joined the Guild of St. Luke as 'afsetter' "or colourist of maps and prints. He seems to have reached a very advanced level of skill in this craft as some customers continued to insist on buying atlases coloured by him personally at a time when he had already developed into a publisher and cartographer/merchant� Ortelius also became a trader in books prints and maps. Much of this trading had to do with the house of Plantin subsequently publisher of the 'Theatrum'�Soon he was attending the book fair in Frankfurt to buy and sell books maps and prints for others as well as for himself. He first met Gerard Mercator there in 1554 which marked the state of a life-long professional relationship and personal friendship� " van den Broecke page 14. Through his work Ortelius became quite the cosmopolitan he travelled extensively to France Germany Switzerland Austria Hungary Italy England and Ireland and as a result had command of several languages. With the publication of the "Theatrum" came tremendous success and wealth. Giving full credit to the original cartographers the "Theatrum" was so successful that it was printed three times in 1570 alone. In 1574 Ortelius retained the position of Royal Cosmographer to Phillip II and was given a fine gold necklace worth 1000 ducats. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions and the 7 languages: Latin German Flemish French Spanish English and Italian. Koeman Ort 41 and Ort 46. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
