Alle tragen das Datum 1584 in der großen Kartusche.A splendid sea chart of the Azores with three scrollwork cartouches; the ocean is decorated with sailing vessels. A fresh example of this scarce sea chart, based on Teixeira's single sheet map of Terceira from 1582, and a later manuscript atlas of the Azores islands. The Azores played a significant role in international sea trade as a victualling stop and shelter for ships sailing into the South Atlantic. In very good condition. The map was first issued in an edition of 100 examples in the Additamentum to the 1583 edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, which is widely referred to as the first modern atlas and a landmark in the history of Western map making. Beginning in 1570, Abraham Ortelius and his successors published (and continuously added to) this monumental work for a period of over 40 years (not including the very rare edition of 1641), with text on the verso in Latin, Italian, German, Dutch, French, Spanish and English.References: Van Den Broecke 24.

Very Good/Erasmus's edition of Pliny's Natural History conserving the notes from Ermolao Barbaro's edition of 1492 printed by Johannes Froben at the height of his powers. Froben's title page is effectively a billboard: "We give you the work of the Divine Pliny called History of the World more emaculate than any edition ever produced before starting with the annotations of erudite men first among them Ermolao Barbaro and then exemplary contributions by learned people which are still worth correcting with faith in the oldest codices from which we have restored many faults do difficult to find that no one no matter how learned could find them or had found them.

Along with the Institutes Code and Digest the Novels is one of the writings known collectively as the Corpus Juris Civilis. The first three books were commissioned by the Justinian I in 530CE. The Code is the restated code of law the Digest is a compilation of legal opinions and the Institutes is an introductory textbook on the Code. The Novels is a compilation of laws enacted after the publication of the Code. The subsequent influence of these books on European jurisprudence is difficult to overestimate. Haloander was one of the great sixteenth-century authorities on Roman law. His edition of the Novels includes the Peace of Constantine Edict of Milan the act that recognized the legitimacy of Christianity in the Roman Empire edicts of the Holy Roman Emperors Henry VII reigned 1165-1197 and Frederick II reigned 1194-1250 and a collection of papal legislation falsely attributed to Pope Clement I reigned 88-99CE the so-called "False Decretals."

The principles formulated in this work and its use of precedents determined the development of English law and established the method adopted by Littleton and Coke.

1598réf. 235791598. Engraved portrait approximately 4 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. An excellent sharp crisp impression. Fine. In a blue half morocco slipcase. The very rare Crispin van de Passe portrait of Drake. This rare portrait of Drake by Crispin van de Passe comes from an early volume of engraved portraits Effigies Regum Ac Principum Eorum Scillicet Cologne 1598. Drake who circumnavigated the globe in 1577-1580 appears under the title "most noble English knight very experienced in all things nautical and military." "The portrait of Drake is of especial interest: it is a close copy of the smaller Hondius Drake portrait which in its first state exists in only two copies Royal Geographical Society and Huntington Library. It depicts him in bust with a shield and with a two-hemisphere terrestrial map displaying the track of his circumnavigation" - Kraus. De Passe's stylized monograph appears near the bottom of the portrait. Epigrammatic verses in Latin by Matthias Quad appear beneath the portrait.
