MERCATOR (Kremer) Gerard (1512 - 1594)
Cornubia, Devonia, Somersetus, Dorcestria, Wiltonia …
La carta del Sud-Ovest dell'Inghilterra e del Galles; include i territori di Cornovaglia, Devon, Sommerset, Dorset, Wilton, Glouchester, Glamorgan, Caermarden, Penbroke, Cardigan, Radnor Breknoke, Hereford e Wigorn. La carta viene preparata da Gerard Mercator per l’Atlantis Pars Altera (1595) pubblicato postumo alla morte dell’autore, sotto la supervisione del figlio Rumold Mercator, dallo stampatore di Duisburg Albert Buys. Composto da sei parti – pubblicate separatamente tra il 1589 e il 1594 – comprende 107 mappe, tutte tranne la carta del mondo di Rumold, firmate da Gerard Mercator. Le lastre vennero poi acquistate da Jodocus Hondius, che tra il 1606 e il 1630 le utilizzò per il suo Atlas Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi, integrandole ed aggiornandole con proprie “nuove” carte. Delle mappe di Mercator sono note anche ristampe curate da Johannes Janssonius. Le edizioni Hondius e Janssonius ebbero un grande successo commerciale e furono stampate in più lingue, con il testo al verso della carta in latino, francese, tedesco e olandese. La carta è incisa con i connotati tipici dell'opera mercatoriana. Le montagne sono allineate in un concetto di area montuosa, non per indicare vere catene o valli, ed hanno una struttura con qualche differenza nella dimensione, ma simile per quanto riguarda la forma, con pendici verticali e cime piatte. Le città sono mostrate attraverso castelli più o meno grandi caratterizzati da tetti slanciati ed aguzzi, simili a cappelli di mago. Esemplare tratto da Atlas Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi di Jodocus Hondius. Incisione in rame, in buono stato di conservazione. Bibliografia cfr. Koeman II Me 11 e Koeman II Me 13A, 1595); Van der Krogt 1:002; J. Keuning, The History of an Atlas, in “Imago Mundi” IV (1947) pp. 37-43; World Encompassed p. 134. A reissue of Mercator's regional map of South-West England by Hondius, in which the original cartouche has been replaced and Mercator's name erased. Includes the countries of Cornwall, Devon, Sommerset, Dorset, Wilton, Glouchester, Glamorgan, Caermarden, Penbroke, Cardigan, Radnor Breknoke, Hereford and Wigorn. The map is prepared by Gerard Mercator for his Atlantis Pars Altera (1595) published posthumously after the death of Mercator, by the Duisburg printer Albert Buys, under the supervision of his son Rumold Mercator. Composed of six parts - published separately between 1589 and 1594 - it includes 107 maps, all except Rumold's map of the world, made by Gerard Mercator. The plates were then purchased by Jodocus Hondius, who between 1606 and 1630 used them for his Atlas Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi, integrating and updating them with his own "new" maps. Of Mercator's maps are also known reprints edited by Johannes Janssonius. The Hondius and Janssonius editions had a great commercial success and were printed in several languages, with the text on the back of the map in Latin, French, German and Dutch. The map is engraved with the typical connotations of Mercatorian work. The mountains are aligned in a mountainous area concept, not to indicate true chains or valleys, and have a structure with some differences in size, but similar in shape, with vertical slopes and flat tops. The cities are shown through more or less large castles characterized by slender and pointed roofs, similar to wizard hats. Example from Atlas Sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi by Jodocus Hondius. Copper engraving, in good condition. Bibliografia cfr. Koeman II Me 11 e Koeman II Me 13A, 1595); Van der Krogt 1:002; J. Keuning, The History of an Atlas, in “Imago Mundi” IV (1947) pp. 37-43; World Encompassed p. 134.

MERCATOR (Kremer) Gerard (1512 - 1594)
EUR: VIII TAB: (Europae Tabula Octava)
Carta tolemaica dell'antica regione della Sarmazia corrispondente all'attuale territorio di Ucraina e Russia. Mappa tratta dal Cl. Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, pubblicata prima a Colonia da Gottfried von Kempen (1578) e poi ristampata dallo stesso editore nel 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) e poi da Isaac Elsevier per il Theatrum Geographiae veteris di Petrus Bertius (Leyden 1618). Di tutte le edizioni di Tolomeo, quella di Gerard Kremer (Mercatore), pubblicata nel 1578, e forse tecnicamente la più bella. A questo punto la Geografia di Tolomeo perdeva però ogni pretesa di “attualità”, laddove lo scopo di Mercatore era quello di produrre un atlante del mondo classico che servisse da complemento al suo atlante moderno (per tale ragione egli aveva tentato di recuperare la forma originale dell’atlante tolemaico, scartandone le moderne accrezioni). L'interpretazione di Mercatore del testo tolemaico, per le 28 carte che illustrano la sua Geographia è stata, quindi, una delle più veritiere. Egli aveva passato 13 anni a ricercare, disegnare e incidere le carte, rinunciando anche alla pubblicazione delle sue carte “moderne”. Questo esemplare proviene dal Theatrum Geographia Veteris di Petrus Bertius edita a Leida nel 1618, che combina il Tolomeo di Mercator, le 8 tavole del Moretus per rappresentare la Tabula Peutingeriana e 14 mappe storiche delle regioni d'Europa derivate dal Parergon di Ortelius. Acquaforte su rame, in buone condizioni. Ptolemaic map of ancient Sarmatia the region between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas. Map taken from the Cl. Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, first published in Cologne by Gottfried von Kempen (1578) and then reprinted by the same publisher in 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) and then by Isaac Elsevier for the Petrus Bertius’ Theatrum Geographiae veteris (Leyden 1618). Mercator's interpretation of the 28 Ptolemaic text was possibly one of the truest undertaken up until that time. He had spent 13 years researching, drawing and engraving the maps at much commercial sacrifice to himself, having seen Ortelius's Theatrum and De Jodes Speculum published, to become both technical and commercial successes. In later life he devoted himself to his edition of the maps in Ptolemy's Geographia, reproduced in his own engraving as nearly as possible in their original form. This example comes from the Theatrum Geographia Veteris of Petrus Bertius published in Leiden in 1618, which combines Mercator's Ptolemy, the 8 plates of Moretus to represent the Tabula Peutingeriana and 14 historical maps of the regions of Europe derived from the Parergon of Ortelius. Copperplate, in good condition.

Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, pubblicata prima a Colonia da Gottfried von Kempen (1578) e poi ristampata dallo stesso editore nel 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) e poi da Isaac Elsevier per il Theatrum Geographiae veteris di Petrus Bertius (Leyden 1618). Di tutte le edizioni di Tolomeo, quella di Gerard Kremer (Mercatore), pubblicata nel 1578, e forse tecnicamente la più bella. A questo punto la Geografia di Tolomeo perdeva pero ogni pretesa di “attualità”, laddove lo scopo di Mercatore era quello di produrre un atlante del mondo classico che servisse da complemento al suo atlante moderno (per tale ragione egli aveva tentato di recuperare la forma originale dell’atlante tolemaico, scartandone le moderne accrezioni). L'interpretazione di Mercatore del testo tolemaico, per le 28 carte che illustrano la sua Geographia è stata, quindi, una delle più veritiere. Egli aveva passato 13 anni a ricercare, disegnare e incidere le carte, rinunciando anche alla pubblicazione delle sue carte “moderne”. Acquaforte su rame, in buone condizioni. Map taken from the Cl. Ptolemaei Alexandrini, Geographiae Libri Octo, first published in Cologne by Gottfried von Kempen (1578) and then reprinted by the same publisher in 1584 (Van der Krogt 1, 502) and then by Isaac Elsevier for the Petrus Bertius’ Theatrum Geographiae veteris (Leyden 1618). Mercator's interpretation of the 28 Ptolemaic text was possibly one of the truest undertaken up until that time. He had spent 13 years researching, drawing and engraving the maps at much commercial sacrifice to himself, having seen Ortelius's Theatrum and De Jodes Speculum published, to become both technical and commercial successes. In later life he devoted himself to his edition of the maps in Ptolemy's Geographia, reproduced in his own engraving as nearly as possible in their original form. Copperplate, in good condition.
