1561Acquaforte e bulino, circa 1561. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con margini, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Esemplare in meravigliosa coloritura coeva.Carta tratta dalla "Geographia di Claudio Tolomeo", a cura del Ruscelli, pubblicata in Venezia in pù edizioni tra il 1561 ed il 1598. La carta è basata sulla "Geografia" di Giacomo Gastaldi, che probabilmente disegnò personalmente anche queste mappe, che vennero incise dai fratelli Sanuto. La peculiarità di queste mappe è che sono incise due per lastra e successivamente tagliate; questo il motivo per cui il segno del rame appare solo in tre lati della mappa. Il testo del Ruscelli e le sue carte sono considerate come il miglior atlante moderno fino alla prima versione del Thatrum di Ortelius, 1570. Solo la loro enorme diffusione ne impedisce una valutazione sostenuta nel mercato antiquario. L'opera infatti ebbe una prima stesura nel 1561, stampata da Vincenzo Valgrisi che ne curò anche la ristampa del 1562. Tre sono le edizioni firmate da Giordano Ziletti (due nel 1564 e una del 1574), mentre nel 1597 viene edita dai fratelli Calignani. Tutte queste edizioni contengono 64 tavole. Nel 1598 e 1599 vengono alla luce le due edizioni curate da Giuseppe Rosaccio e stampate dagli Eredi di Melchior Sessa. Queste ultime due edizioni comprendono 69 tavole; sono infatti aggiunte la carta del planisfero e dei continenti del Rosaccio. ORIGINAL COLOURINGEtching with engraving, about 1561. Magnificent proof, printed on contemporary laid paper, with margins, in perfect condition. Example in wonderful contemporary coloring.Map, taken from Ruscelli edition of Ptolemy's "Geographia", printed in Venice from 1561 to 1598. Ruscelli's Atlas is an expanded edition of Gastaldi's "Geografia" of 1548, which has been called the most comprehensive atlas produced between Martin Waldseemüller's Geographiae of 1513, and the Abraham Ortelius Theatrum of 1570. Ruscelli and Gastaldi's maps were beautifully engraved on copper, marking a turning point in the history of cartography. From that point forward, the majority of cartographic works used this medium. As it was a harder material than wood it gave the engraver the ability to render more detail. Gastaldi sought the most up-to-date geographical information available, making the modern maps in Ruscelli's Geographia among the best modern maps of the period. The maps are engraved by the Sanuto borthers.Only their enormous diffusion prevents a sustained evaluation in the antique market. The work in fact had a first issue in 1561, printed by Vincenzo Valgrisi who also edited the reprint of 1562. There are three editions signed by Giordano Ziletti (two in 1564 and one in 1574), while in 1597 it was edited by the Calignani brothers. All these editions contain 64 engraved maps. In 1598 and 1599 the two editions edited by Giuseppe Rosaccio and printed by the heirs of Melchior Sessa come to light. These last two editions include 69 plates; in fact the map of the planisphere and of the continents of Rosaccio are added.Only their ubiquity prevents an assessment supported in the antique market.

1696Carta 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.
