ZAHN Johann (1631-1707)
Tabula Geographico-Hydrographica Motus Oceani Currentes, Abyssos, Montes Ignivomos in Universo Orbe…
Carta nautica del mondo tratta dalla Specula physico-mathematico-historica notabilium ac mirabilium sciendorum, in qua mundi mirabilis oeconomia ... nunc autem ad lucem protractus, ac ad varias perfacili methodo acquirendas scientias in epitomen collectus thesaurus curiosis omnibus cosmosophis inspectandus proponitur... / authore Joanne Zahndello Zahn, una cosmografia riccamente illustrata. Zahn era un monaco, studioso e scienziato, si dedicò a studi sulla camera oscura. La sua opera è sulla scia di Athanasius Kircher - studioso gesuita, uno dei primi scrittori sui fenomeni fisici della terra - che, nel suo Mundus Subterraneus (1665) teorizzava che tutti gli oceani della Terra erano connessi tra loro tramite dei tunnel sotterranei che univano oceani e mari. Tra il Mar Mediterraneo, il Mar Nero, il Mar Caspio e il Golfo Persico, Kircher ha teorizzato enormi gallerie e un complesso interscambio di flussi d'acqua. Questi tunnel sono particolarmente noti tra il Mar Nero e il Mar Caspio e tra il Mediterraneo e il Golfo Persico. L'Antartide è rappresentata lungo la parte meridionale della mappa. A nord è raffigurato un grande passaggio aperto a nord-ovest che corre lungo tutta la mappa. Mostra la Nuova Guinea e una suggestione dell'Australia collegata alla terraferma Australsis Incognita. L'Africa è mostrata con una precisione notevolmente maggiore rispetto a molte mappe disegnate centinaia di anni dopo - in particolare per quanto riguarda il Niger e i sistemi fluviali del Nilo. Il Nord America e il Sud America sono entrambi maldestramente raffigurati, il che indica una conoscenza relativamente sommaria del continente. La Corea viene mostrata come un'isola e il Giappone appare come un'unica isola. Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. A world chart from the Specula physico-mathematico-historica notabilium ac mirabilium sciendorum, in qua mundi mirabilis oeconomia ... nunc autem ad lucem protractus, ac ad varias perfacili methodo acquirendas scientias in epitomen collectus thesaurus curiosis omnibus cosmosophis inspectandus proponitur... / authore Joanne Zahn, a finely illustrated cosmography, designed to show the ocean currents, vortexes and volcanos. Johann Zahn (1631-1707), a German monk, also published a … read morebook on optics, 'Oculus Artificialis Teledioptricus Sive Telescopium' (1685), with extensive descriptions of both the camera obscura and the magic lantern, which he used for anatomical lectures.[«] SHIRLEY: World 583, "engravings of a high standard". The Mundi Mirabilis oeconomia was influenced by Kircher’s Mundus Subterraneus (1665). The Jesuit scholar, Athanasius Kircher, was one of the first compilers of semi-scientific knowledge about the physical features of the world. This map expounds on Kircher's theories by noting the abysses and the currents they create as well as the locations of the world's known volcanoes. Between the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Persian Gulf, Kircher theorized massive tunnels and a complex interchange of water flows. These tunnels are noted most particularly between the Black and Caspian Sea and between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. Antarctica is shown along the southern part of the map. In the North a great open northwest passage is depicted running all the way across the map. Shows New Guinea and a suggestion of Australia attached to the 'Australsis Incognita' mainland. Africa is shown with considerably greater accuracy than many maps drawn hundreds of years later – particularly with regard to Niger and Nile River Systems. North America and South America are both wildly malformed, indicating a relatively sketchy knowledge of the continent. Korea is shown as an Island and Japan appears as only a single island. Copperplate, very good condition. R. W. Shirley, "The Mapping of the world", 583.

ZATTA Antonio (Venezia 1722 - 1804)
Emisfero Terrestre Settentrionale tagliato su l'Equatore - Emisfero Terrestre Meridionale tagliato su l'Equatore
Coppia di carte geografiche tratte dall'Atlante Novissimo di Antonio Zatta, edito tra il 1779 ed il 1785. Mappamondo a proiezione polare, in due carte a fogli distinti, rappresentazione dell'emisfero terrestre settentrionale e meridionale. Nella lunga didascalia esplicativa al margine inferiore, nel redigere la carta e nel far riferimento alle "terre Antartiche, "in cui fin ora la Geografia non ha il minimo fondamento" si è fatto riferimento alle "più probabili congeture adottando il sistema proposto dal Sig.r Robeto de Vaugundy". É interessante come nella carta siano rappresentate le principali montuosità, con tratteggio da destra a sinistra. Tavole tratte dall’Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Stampato in quattro volumi da Antonio Zatta tra il 1779 ed il 1785. Atlante fra i più belli e completi mai pubblicati in Italia nel XVIII secolo, l'opera più famosa dello Zatta. L’Atlante Novissimo, come si specifica anche nel titolo, è “accresciuto sulle osservazioni scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi”. Tra le novità più significative vi è la comparsa delle nuove isole scoperte nell'Oceano Pacifico da James Cook e la prima carta italiana della Nuova Zelanda. Le illustrazioni furono ideate e disegnate dai suoi collaboratori Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli ed incise da Giuliano Zuliani. Il primo tomo dell’atlante è introdotto da un breve saggio di geografia generale dove l’autore definisce in modo sintetico e preciso gli elementi che compongono i reticoli eclittico ed equatoriale usati nelle tavole. Interessante la sezione dove si sofferma a descrivere il fenomeno della precessione degli equinozi e quello della variazione ciclica dell'obliquità dell'eclittica. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni. A polar projection World map taken from the Atlante Novissimo, printed in Venice between 1776 and 1785. The map was issued in Zatta's Atlante Novissimo a monumental 4 volume work and one of the last great decorative atlases. The northern plate, is based on De Vaugondy's map; this is a polar projection covering from the pole to the equator. In North America, the mythical Northwest Passage is shown connecting through the Strait of Anian to Hudson Bay. Lanhotan's Longue River is also shown connecting the Mississippi River with the Pacific.The southeren plate, depicts the Antarctic Hemisphere (south) to the equator and Capt. James Cook's route on his first voyage. New Zealand and the Australian East coast are featured in their entirety for the first time. Plates from the Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Printed in four volumes by Antonio Zatta between 1779 and 1785. Atlas among the most beautiful and complete ever published in Italy in the eighteenth century, the most famous work of Zatta. The Atlante Novissimo, as also specified in the title, is “increased on the observations made by the most famous and most recent geographers”. Among the most significant innovations there is the appearance of the new islands discovered in the Pacific Ocean by James Cook and the first Italian map of New Zealand. The illustrations were designed and drawn by his collaborators Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli and engraved by Giuliano Zuliani. The first volume of the atlas is introduced by a brief essay of general geography where the author defines in a concise and precise way the elements that make up the ecliptic and equatorial grids used in the tables. Interesting is the section where he pauses to describe the phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes and the cyclical variation of the obliquity of the ecliptic. Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, contemporary outline coloring, in good condition.

ZATTA Antonio (Venezia 1722 - 1804)
Il Mappamondo o sia Descrizione generale del Globo
PRIMA EDIZIONE del mappamondo di Zatta con i due emisferi, edito a Venezia ne 1774.La mappa riporta le scoperte, allora recenti, del capitano Cook, successive a quelle in Australia e Nuova Zelanda. Di notevole interesse anche la cartografazione aggiornata della costa nord-occidentale dell'America, inclusa l'area del Pacifico. Di grande impatto decorativo, la carta è arricchita ai lati con quattro figure allegoriche dei quattro continenti. Carta geografica tratta dall’Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Stampato in quattro volumi da Antonio Zatta tra il 1779 ed il 1785. Atlante fra i più belli e completi mai pubblicati in Italia nel XVIII secolo, l'opera più famosa dello Zatta. L’Atlante Novissimo, come si specifica anche nel titolo, è “accresciuto sulle osservazioni scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi”. Tra le novità più significative vi è la comparsa delle nuove isole scoperte nell'Oceano Pacifico da James Cook e la prima carta italiana della Nuova Zelanda. Le illustrazioni furono ideate e disegnate dai suoi collaboratori Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli ed incise da Giuliano Zuliani. Il primo tomo dell’atlante è introdotto da un breve saggio di geografia generale dove l’autore definisce in modo sintetico e preciso gli elementi che compongono i reticoli eclittico ed equatoriale usati nelle tavole. Interessante la sezione dove si sofferma a descrivere il fenomeno della precessione degli equinozi e quello della variazione ciclica dell'obliquità dell'eclittica. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni.
