Their architect, Hans Luhdo, produced them in only 5 months. The pivotal maps are those drawn for the year 2000. The speed with which they were created suggests that he was a man driven, racing against time. A few weeks after the last map was completed, he died." - from back cover.

In 1870, he traveled in Palestine and Asia Minor, returning to take part in the Franco-Prussian War. In 1874, he received his doctorate of philosophy at the University of Jena. From 1874 until 1878 he worked on the compilation of Ferdinand von Richthofen's atlas of China, and from 1875 to 1887, he was editor of the geographical periodical Globus. From 1902 until 1908 he worked on the Spezialkarte von Kleinasien, a map of Asia Minor that was created on a 1:400,000 scale. After his father's death in 1899, he continued the work on the elder Kiepert's classic Formae Orbis Antiqui.

Rocque John
A Plan of Rome… / La Topographia di Roma da G. B. Nolli… / Plan de Rome...
Pianta di Roma a proiezione verticale, orientata con il nord in alto.Incisa da R. Benning per il cartografo inglese John Rocque e basata sulla pianta di Giovan Battista Nolli del 1748."Come annunciato nel titolo (ripetuto anche in italiano e francese), si tratta di una diretta derivazione della pianta piccola del Nolli che l'autore ha voluto riportare nella scala in cui aveva già pubblicato la pianta della città di Londra. In basso a sinistra indice delle fabriche più ragguardevoli contenute nella pianta con 170 voci suddivise in sei colonne. In basso a destra dedica a Sir. Bouchier Wrey. Le emergenze architettoniche sono campite in nero ed il resto degli isolati a tratteggio diagonale. In basso a sinistra il nome dell'incisore R. Benning sc. La stessa pianta fu rstampata nel 1773 dal Sawyer" (cfr. Marigliani p. 274).Acquaforte, finemente colorata a mano, in buono stato di conservazione. Non comune. Vertical projection map of Rome, oriented with the north at the top.Published in 1750 by John Roque, from the earlier plan by Goivanni Battista Noli published in 1748 (These dates are printed on the map).As announced in the title (also repeated in Italian and French), this is a direct derivation of the small map of Nolli that the author wanted to bring back to the scale in which he had already published the map of the city of London. At the bottom left index of the most remarkable fabrications contained in the plan with 170 entries divided into six columns. Bottom right dedication to Sir. Bouchier Wrey. The architectural buildings are in black and the rest of the blocks are in diagonal hatching. Bottom left the name of the engraver R. Benning sc. The same plan was printed in 1773 by Sawyer (see Marigliani p. 274).Etching, finely colored by hand, in good condition. Not common. C.

Tuttavia ci permettiamo di discordare dalla datazione attribuita da Burden e Betz, ritenendo queste opere del Rosaccio databili al periodo 1590/95. Le mappe erano infatti accompagnate dalla carta del mondo che Rodney Shirley include tra quelle aggiunte nella nuova ristampa di The Mapping of the World, elencandone un solo esemplare conosciuto, che si trova nella Biblioteca Municipale di Grenoble. Shirley data la mappa all’ultimo decennio del XVI secolo. A conclusione dello studio su questo inusuale gruppo cartografico, possiamo evidenziare che questo set rappresenta una prima stesura del Rosaccio per la realizzazione delle carte successivamente inserite nella sua Geografia ed anche nelle Relationi Universali del Botero. Le opere, probabilmente realizzate in pochissimi esemplari, non furono mai inserite in nessuna pubblicazione, e si presentano su fogli intonsi, a pieni margini, stampate su carta con filigrana che il Briquet indica fabbricata a Verona intorno al 1583, ed il Woodward riscontra in altre mappe del periodo 1580 e 1594. Diverse sono anche le dimensioni delle lastre, ma questo probabilmente perché gli studiosi si sono trovati ad esaminare esemplari rifilati all’interno del rame.Giuseppe Rosaccio, medico e geografo, è noto per alcune opere geografiche e cosmografiche, che, sebbene di non gran mole, gli procurarono qualche fama e furono più volte ristampate. Tra esse il Teatro del Cielo e della Terra (Venezia 1595), il Mondo e le sue parti, cioè Europa, Affrica, Asia et America (Verona 1596), il Microcosmo (Firenze 1600), il Mondo elementare e celeste (Treviso 1604), il Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza della Terra (Firenze, s. a.). Egli curò anche un'edizione della Geografia di Tolomeo, stampata a Venezia nel 1599, corredandola con alcuni Discorsi e 42 tavole nuove. Set omogeneo, di straordinaria rarità. - EARLY ISSUE, UNRECORDED - Suite depicting the 4 continents, finely etched with etching and engraving, dating to 1590/95 approx. The map of Asia is signed in the plate, lower left. Magnificent proofs, rich tones, printed on contemporary laid paper with watermark "still in a circle surmounted by flower" with the countermark (Briquet 571, 178 Woodward), wide margins, in perfect conditionThe maps, according to Philip Burden and Richard Betz, can be dated back to 1605 and are clearly derived from that published in the Universale Fabrica del Mondo by Giovanni Lorenzo Anania, Venice 1582. They differ mainly in size and scale of gradation. However, we would disagree on the dating attributed by Burden and Betz, considering these works of Rosaccio dating from the period 1590/95. The maps were in fact accompanied by a map of the world that includes Rodney Shirley among those added to the new reissue of The Mapping of the World, listing only known specimen, which is located in the Municipal Library of Grenoble. Shirley dated the map at the last decade of the sixteenth century. At the conclusion of the study of this unusual maps, we can that describe this set is a first issue of Rosaccio’s maps later incorporated in his "Geographia" and also in the Relationi Universali by Botero. The works, probably made in a few examples, were never included in any publication, and are on uncut sheets, with full margins, printed on paper with a watermark that indicates Briquet manufactured in Verona around 1583, and Woodward found in other maps of the period 1580 to 1594. There are also different sizes of plates, but this is probably because scholars have found to examine specimens trimmed in copper.Homogeneous set of extraordinary rarity. Burden, The Mapping of North America, 149; Shirley, The Mapping of the World, 174A, Betz, The Mapping of Africa, 51; Briquet, Les Filigranes, 571. Dimensioni circa 210x260 ognuna

ROSACCIO Luigi (attivo a Firenze 1600-1620 circa)
Universale Descrittione di Tutto il Mondo del Ecc.te Gioseppe Rosaccio
Rara carta del mondo pubblicata separatamente da Luigi Rosaccio. La carta deriva dal planisfero murale di suo padre, Giuseppe Rosaccio (1597, Bifolco-Ronca n. 31). Rodney Shirley nota che “This curiously elaborate world map is to be found in a speculative world geography by Giuseppe Rosaccio... The right-hand hemisphere is surrounded by bands denoting the climates; the left-hand one by lively windheads and celestial constellations. In the centre cusp is a dyspeptic portrait of the young Duke Cosimo II de Medici, and in the spandels are circular representations of the four elements. The lower part of the engraving consists of a neatly engraved Ptolemaic map of the world and a set of spherical diagrams showing the zones, meridians, and geographical features”. La mappa è molto rara; questo è un esempio del secondo stato, con una barba aggiunta al ritratto di Cosimo de Medici. Priva di datazione, la carta risulta stampata a Firenze, dove la famiglia Rosaccio si era trasferita dopo il periodo veneziano, il 28 novembre 1606, ottenendo il privilegio della stampa per le proprie opere - vedi Casali, Il 'Teatro "del mondo. GR (ca 1530-1620) tra Firenze e Bologna, in L'Europa divisa e i nuovi mondi. Per Adriano Prosperi, II, a cura di M. Donattini - G. Marcocci - S. Pastore, Pisa 2011, p. 56. Aloisio, Aluigio, Alovigi o probabilmente Luigi Rosaccio, figlio del cosmografo Giuseppe Rosaccio, si formò a Firenze, forse con Antonio Tempesta, alla corte dei Medici. Fin dai primi anni Novanta, Giuseppe Rosaccio si stabilì a Firenze, dove il 13 luglio 1594 entrò nella compagnia dell'"Arte dei medici e speziali" (Casali, 2011, p. 56 e n. 15 p. 62) come venditore di libri, ponendosi al servizio e sotto la protezione del Granduca dal suo 'banco' aperto sulla prestigiosa Piazza del Palazzo e dedicando alcune delle sue opere più significative a Ferdinando, Cosimo II e alla granduchessa Cristina. Sempre nella città dei Medici, il 28 novembre 1606 ottenne il privilegio di stampare per le proprie opere (Casali, 2011, pp. 56 s.). Luigi Rosaccio si cimentò nell'arte incisoria, traducendo in stampa le numerose opere del padre. Nel 1610 realizzò il ciclo di illustrazioni incluse nella descrizione delle "Esequie d'Arrigo Quarto cristianissimo re di francia e di Navarra celebrate in Firenze dal Serenissimo DON COSIMO II Gran Duca di Toscana". Descritto da Giuliano Giraldi pubblicato a Firenze da Bartolomeo Sermartelli, importante come testimonianza visiva del complesso delle decorazioni più che per le qualità stilistiche e tecniche, non particolarmente brillanti. Sempre al periodo fiorentino sono legate le tre splendide carte geografiche raffiguranti l'Italia, una grande carta che precede l'Italia Nova di Giovanni Antonio Magini, la Toscana (la cosiddetta "Carta del Cavallo"), e il Piemonte. Bibliografia Shirley, The Mapping of The World, #268. Rare separately published map of the World by Luigi Rosaccio, after the of the largest World Map of his father Giuseppe Rosaccio (1597, Bifolco-Ronca n. 31). Rodney Shirley notes: “This curiously elaborate world map is to be found in a speculative world geography by Giuseppe Rosaccio... The right-hand hemisphere is surrounded by bands denoting the climates; the left-hand one by lively windheads and celestial constellations. In the centre cusp is a dyspeptic portrait of the young Duke Cosimo II de Medici, and in the spandels are circular representations of the four elements. The lower part of the engraving consists of a neatly engraved Ptolemaic map of the world and a set of spherical diagrams showing the zones, meridians, and geographical features” The map was engraved by Giuseppe’s relative Alovisio Rosaccio and is very scarce. This is an example of the second state, with a beard added to the portrait of de Medici. Without the data, the map is printed in Florence, where the Rosaccio family was transferred after the Venetian period, on 28 November 1606, obtaining the privilege of printing for their works - see Casali, Il 'Teatro "del mondo. GR (ca 1530-1620) tra Firenze e Bologna, in L’Europa divisa e i nuovi mondi. Per Adriano Prosperi, II, a cura di M. Donattini - G. Marcocci - S. Pastore, Pisa 2011, p. 56. Aloisio, Aluigio, Alovigi or probably Luigi Rosaccio, son of the cosmographer Giuseppe Rosaccio, was trained in Florence, perhaps with Antonio Tempesta, at the Medici court. Since the early nineties, Giuseppe Rosaccio settled in Florence, where on 13 July 1594 joined the company of “Arte dei medici e speziali (Art of doctors and apothecaries)” (Casali, 2011, p. 56 and n. 15 p. 62) as a seller of books, placing himself at the service and under the protection of the Grand Duke from his 'bench' opened on the prestigious Piazza del Palazzo and dedicating some of his most significant works to Ferdinando, Cosimo II and the Grand Duchess Cristina.. Still in the city of the Medici, on 28 November 1606 he obtained the privilege of printing for his own works (Casali, 2011, pp. 56 s.). Luigi Rosaccio tried his hand at engraving art, translating his father's numerous works into a print. In 1610 he made the cycle of illustrations included in the description of the “Esequie d’Arrigo Quarto cristianissimo re di francia e di Navarra celebrate in Firenze dal Serenissimo DON COSIMO II Gran Duca di Toscana”. Described by Giuliano Giraldi published in Florence by Bartolomeo Sermartelli, important as visual testimony of the complex of the decorations rather than for the stylistic and technical qualities, not particularly brilliant. Always in the Florentine period are related to the three wonderful geographic maps depicting Italy, a great map preceding the Italia Nova of Giovanni Antonio Magini, Tuscany (the so-called “Carta del Cavallo”), and Piedmont.
