‎Thevet Andrè (Angoulême 1516 ca. - Parigi 1592)‎

‎Carte dei quattro continenti‎

‎Suite completa delle carte raffiguranti i 4 continenti. Xilografie, 1575, finemente colorate a mano in epoca, impresse su carta vergata coeva, complete della linea marginale, in eccellente stato di conservazione. Le carte sono tratte dalla prima edizione de La Cosmographie universelle d'Andre Thevet, cosmographe du roy : illustree de diverses figures des choses plus remarquables veues par l'auteur, & incogneues de noz anciens & modernes, curata da Pierre l’Huilier, che precede di uno o due anni la ristampa di Guillaume Chaudiere. Nato a Angoulême intorno al 1516, Thevet divenne frate francescano e intorno al 1550 compì la sua prima spedizione, quando accompagnò il cardinale Jean de Lorraine in Italia e nel bacino del Mediterraneo. Poco dopo, Thevet pubblicò la Cosmographie de Levant, un compendio circa fatti, persone, luoghi, flora e fauna della zona visitata. L’esperienza di Thevet come un viaggiatore attirò l'attenzione di Nicolas Durand, Cavaliere di Villegagnon, che si apprestava a fondare una colonia in quello che è oggi il Brasile. Durant chiese a Thevet di accompagnarlo nella spedizione come suo confessore. Durante il viaggio, Thevet si ammalò e fu costretto a tornare in Francia dopo aver trascorso sole dieci settimane in Brasile. Tuttavia, combinando le sue osservazioni con le informazioni acquisite da altri viaggiatori, Thevet realizzò il suo Singularitez de la France Antarctique, pubblicato a Parigi nel 1557, che gli valse il riconoscimento reale e la nomina a cosmografo della corte dei Valois. Si dedicò poi alla sua opera più ambiziosa, La Cosmographie universelle, una sorta di descrizione di ogni parte del mondo conosciuto. Il suo collaboratore François de Belleforest, probabilmente a seguito di un litigio, lo abbandonò pubblicando una propria cosmografia nel 1572. Al di là delle accuse di furto del materiale mosse da Thevet, senza dubbio la pubblicazione di Belleforest, tolse successo all’opera di Thevet che, con oltre 2.000 pagine, apparve a 3 anni di distanza, nel 1575. Thevet continuò a scrivere di viaggi reali e immaginari fino alla morte, nel 1592, lasciando due opere manoscritte: la Gran Insulaire, un almanacco di isole di tutto il mondo, e le Histoire de deux voyages, un resoconto, probabilmente amplificato, dei suoi viaggi nel Nuovo Mondo. EuropeEsemplare nell’unico stato conosciuto. La carta deriva dalla rappresentazione murale del mondo di Gerard Mercator del 1569. La mappa è riccamente ornata con mostri marini e numerosi vascelli, e riporta anche le mitiche isole di Frislandia, Ibira e Enoem. La Groenlandia e l’Islanda sono in forma molto allungata, mentre la Scandinavia non si discosta, nella forma, dalla carta di Olaus Magnus.AsieEsemplare nel primo stato di due, avanti la firma dell’editore Chaudiere e la data 1581. La carta dell’Asia è basata sul modello di Mercator del 1569. La Nuova Guinea stranamente non compare nella mappa, mentre il Giappone assume una curiosa forma a tartaruga. La più importante novità cartografica della mappa è rappresentata dalla corretta rappresentazione delle stretto di Anania, oggi Bering.Table d’AfriqueEsemplare nel primo stato di due, avanti la firma dell’editore Chaudiere e la data 1581. Betz sottolinea come questa mappa dell’Africa costituisca un importante tassello nella storia della cartografia del continente, trattandosi della prima mappa di formato in-folio a descrivere l’area basandosi sul modello mercatoriano del 1569, fondendolo con le informazioni desunte dalle carte di Gastaldi e Ortelius. Il risultato è una mappa che fornisce un enorme numero di informazioni cartografiche, talvolta difficili da leggere.Quarte Partie du Monde Esemplare nel primo stato di tre, con il marchio tipografico sotto la descrizione nel cartiglio in basso a sinistra, edito nella prima edizione de La Comosgraphie Universelle del 1575. Burden ebidenzia che il secondo stato della carta non presenta questo marchio tipografico, mentre i... Set of the 4 continents. Woodcuts, 1575, finely hand colored at the time, printed on contemporary laid paper, complete the marginal line, in excellent condition. The maps are from the first edition of The Cosmographie universelle d'Andre Thevet, Cosmographe du roy: ILLUSTREE de diverses figures des choses plus remarquables veues par l'auteur, & incogneues de noz anciens & modernes, curated by Pierre the Huilier, which of one or two years before the reissue of Guillaume Chaudiere. Born around 1516 in Angoulême, Thevet became a Franciscan friar about 1550 and made his first expedition, when he accompanied the Cardinal Jean de Lorraine in Italy and in the Mediterranean basin. Soon after, he published the Cosmographie de Levant, a compendium of facts about people, places, flora and fauna of the area visited. The experience of Thevet as a traveler came to the attention of Nicolas Durand, Knight Villegagnon, who was preparing to establish a colony in what is today Brazil. Durant asked Thevet to accompany the expedition as his confessor. During the trip, Thevet became ill and was forced to return to France after having spent only ten weeks in Brazil. However, by combining his observations with information obtained from other travelers, Thevet realized his Singularitez Antarctique de la France, published in Paris in 1557, which earned him recognition and real cosmographer the appointment of the Valois court. He then devoted himself to his most ambitious work, The Cosmographie universelle, a kind of description of each of the known world. His collaborator François de Belleforest, probably as a result of a quarrel, left him by publishing its own cosmography in 1572. Thevet’s work, of over 2,000 pages, appeared 3 years later, in 1575. Thevet continued to write real and imaginary travel until his death in 1592, leaving two manuscripts: Great Insulaire, an almanac of islands around the world, and the Histoire de deux voyages, a quick, probably amplified, of his travels in the New World. EuropeExample in the only known state. The map comes from the wall map of the world by Gerard Mercator of 1569. The map is richly ornamented with numerous sea monsters and ships, and also reports the mythical islands of Frislandia, Ibira and Enoem. Greenland and Iceland are very elongated, while Scandinavia does not differ in form from the map of Olaus Magnus.AsieExample in the first state of two, before the address of Chaudiere and the date 1581. The map of Asia is based on the model by Mercator wall map of the world. 1569. The New Guinea strangely does not appear in the map, while Japan takes a curious form a turtle. The most important novelty of the cartographic map is represented by the correct representation of the Strait of Ananias, Bering today.Table d'AfriqueExample in the first state of two, before the address of Chaudiere and the date 1581. Betz points out this map of Africa is an important step in the history of cartography of the continent, this is the first map of folio format to describe the area based on the Mercator’s model of 1569, by fusing the information obtained from the maps by Gastaldi and Ortelius. The result is a map that provides a huge number of cartographic information, sometimes difficult to read.Fourth Partie du MondeExample in the first state of three, with the typographical mark under the description in the title, published in the first edition of The Comosgraphie Universelle of 1575. Burden notes that the second state of the map does not present this mark, while the third state is with the address of Chaudiere and the date 1581. From the cartographic point of view, the map is derived from the map of the world of Gerard Mercator of 1569, while the nomenclature and morphology of the northern part seem to be the assembly of several cartographic sources. New Guinea, and a large mass southern called "Cercle Antartique" are richly decorated with scenes of native life. Excellent examples of these rare maps, among...
