It was directed and mostly made by Strixner and Piloty, and was published by J Stuntz in Munich in 72 parts each of 6 sheets, with 432 prints in total, between 1810 and 1816 (so Düssler: no complete copy is recorded in London, and the BM only has oddments from it). It was followed by the separate series of plates after paintings, the 'Königlich Bayerischer Gemälde-Sammlung zu München und Schleissheim' in 1817-24.

Condition: Good. Folio. 34 x 21 cm. Original contemporary stiff vellum with 6 raised bands. [2], viii, 602, [10], 224pp. Two columns printed in Latin and Greek in the first part and Latin only in the second part. Waterstain in the lower right corner throughout. The map is bound in front of page 1 and is in fine and fresh condition.This unique map was first printed as part of Isaac Casaubon's edition of Strabo's Geographia in 1587. In this, the first printing there are columns of text underneath rhe map with the heading, "Lectori S. P." In later editions the map was included in the well known Mercator atlas, which Rumold compiled. In 1603, the plate developed cracks in the top edge of the plate; two distinct cracks can be seen in the title.The preeminent example of Rumold Mercator's map of the world, first printed in this edition in Geneva in 1587. It is based on Gerard Mercator's celebrated 1569 world map and was made while Gerard was still alive (1512- 1594). This is the only collectible world map with direct input from Gerard Mercator, the greatest geographer of his era. Both his 1538 and 1569 world maps are unobtainable rarities.The present work is a reduced version of the 1569 wall map of the world, on which the revolutionary Mercator Projection was introduced. This edition makes the map into a double-hemisphere format, rather than the projection style.To the left is the western hemisphere. The prominent bulge in South America, a characteristic introduced by Gerard Mercator and evident on his 1569 world map, has been retained here. Tierra del Fuego forms part of a gigantic southern continent that continues in the eastern hemisphere. At the north pole, two of the four islands that Gerard Mercator thought surrounded the pole are evident. There is also a suggestion of a Northwest Passage via the Straits of Anian.Isaac Casaubon, (1559, Geneva ?died July 1, 1614, London). French classical scholar and theologian who was one of the leading scholars of the era.He was born in Geneva on 18th February 1559, a son of Huguenot parents Arnaud and Jeanne. He was educated at the university in his home town and taught Greek there. His first wife was Marie Prolyst but she and their daughter died. In 1586 in Geneva he married Florence, daughter of Henry Estienne and they had seventeen children, of whom about half did not survive infancy. His first major published work was on the Greek geographer Strabo and many other works followed. The invitation to come to England seems to have come from Richard Bancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury. Isaac was later made a prebendary of Canterbury but died in London on 1st July 1614.References: This first edition not in OCLC.

Bust portrait of the doctor and writer Johannes van Beverwijck (1594-1647).Inscribed at bottom: two lines in Greek, two in Latin: Arte bonus Medica, justus patriaeque Senator, Talis IOHANNES sum BEVEROVIVIUS.Signed and dated on the frame: S. Savery Sculp / JG Cuyp / MDCXLIII.[NL] Portret van Johannes van Beverwijck (1594-1647), arts en schrijver. Uit het Dordrechts Archief:Johan stamt uit een aanzienlijk Dordts regentengeslacht. Zijn moeder was verwant aan de Vlaamse anatoom Andreas Vesalius (Andries van Wesel) en mogelijk is die verwantschap bepalend geweest voor zijn levensloop. Hij bezocht de Latijnse school in de Nieuwstraat, werd daar ingewijd in het Latijn en Grieks en kreeg retoricaonderwijs van Gerardus Joannes Vossius. Misschien volgde hij ook de anatomische lessen van Fr. Marcellus. Zeker is dat niet, want hoewel Johan graag in medische boeken snuffelde en het Secreet-Boeck uit 1600 van stadsdokter Carolus Battus uit het hoofd kende, stond zijn studierichting nog niet vast. Na lang aarzelen tussen letteren en rechten liet hij zich op 25 mei 1611 als student in de rechten te Leiden inschrijven. Pas later volgde de overstap naar medicijnen. In 1614 promoveerde hij te Leiden op de dissertatie De Apoplexia. Het jaar daarop toog hij naar het buitenland om praktijkervaring op te doen. Van Beverwijck reisde naar Frankrijk, waar hij de universiteiten van Caen, Parijs en Montpellier bezocht. Aan de universiteit van Padua in de republiek Venetië behaalde hij op 30 mei 1616 zijn doctorsbul. Hij vervolgde zijn Grand Tour door Italië met bezoeken aan Bologna, Siena, waar hij ternauwernood aan de pest ontkwam, Rome, Napels, Florence en Venetië.In 1618 keerde hij in zijn geboorteplaats terug, waar hij zich als geneesheer vestigde in de deftige Wijnstraat tussen Nieuwbrug en Mattensteiger. Spoedig was hij hier een gevierd dokter met een grote praktijk en een gezien burger, voor wie door afkomst en studie alle openbare ambten openstonden. Op 8 november 1625 werd hij benoemd tot stadsdokter met als taken het bezoeken van de zieken in het Sacramentsgasthuis aan de Visstraat en het examineren van chirurgijns, pestmeesters en vroedvrouwen. Eerst in 1636 beëindigde hij, in beslag genomen door de pestepidemie die toen woedde, deze arbeid.Van Beverwijck was een overtuigd tegenstander van specialismen. Hij wilde geen ziek deel maar een ziek mens behandelen. Een uitzondering maakte hij voor de praktische uitoefening van de heelkunde, die aan chirurgijns overgelaten diende te worden. De chirurgie werd beoefend door slecht opgeleide barbiers en empirici. Op verzoek van het Chirurgijnsgilde ging Van Beverwijck daarom in 1634 wekelijks lessen in de anatomie geven in de tot anatomisch theater omgebouwde gildekamer in de Wijnkoperskapel. In 1643 stopte hij daarmee, maar er bleef nog genoeg te doen. Al vanaf 1627 maakte hij deel uit van het stadsbestuur, eerst als Raad, maar in de jaren 1628-1629, 1631-1632, 1635-1636, 1639-1640 en 1644-1645 ook als Schepen en, vanaf 1631, als lid van het College van Veertigen. Zoals alle bestuurders en oud-bestuurders zat hij ook in de Oudraad, het college dat het algemeen bestuur der stad regelde. Veelvuldig bezocht hij als gedeputeerde de vergaderingen van de Staten van Holland in Den Haag.Daarnaast was hij vanaf 1631 curator van de Latijnse school, weesmeester van de Weeskamer in 1637-1638 en 1642-1643 en volgde hij in 1636 Jacob Cats op als bibliothecaris van de stadsbibliotheek. In zijn vrije tijd beoefende hij de botanie. Menige lange winteravond bracht hij ook door ten huize van Jacob de Witt in de Grotekerksbuurt om er met andere Dordtse geleerden te discussiëren over filosofie en theologie. Zijn overbuurman en vriend Jacob Cats verzamelde de beoefenaren der poëzie om zich heen. En ook de bijeenkomsten van de 'Dordtse Muiderkring' op het Zwijndrechtse slot Develsteyn werden door hem bezocht.Daarnaast vond hij tijd om te schrijven. Gedichten, Spaensche Xerxes uit 1639 (waarin hij de zeeslag tussen Grieken en.
