[2, engraved title], [22], 368, 367-565, [1, blank], [61], [3, blank]. Nice example of this important historical atlas, which was first published in 1624 by Philipp Cl ver, a geographer from Gdansk who spent much of his life in Leiden. Cl ver was known for his love of travel and geography, and this atlas reflects his deep interest in these areas. This edition, published by Jan Wolters, is based on that originally issued by Johannis Bunonis (Wolfenbuttel, 1661) and includes additions by Hekelii and Reiskii.This atlas contains a range of detailed maps covering different parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Asia Minor, the Holy Land, and the Americas. One of the key features is a double hemisphere map of the world, showing how people of that time viewed the world's geography.Cluver's work was widely respected and used for a long time, as shown by the multiple times it was reprinted after its first publication. The atlas is not just a collection of maps; it represents the knowledge and understanding of historical geography in the 17th century.The American-related maps are:Typus Orbis Terrarum. Double hemisphere world mapAmerica. Shows both North and South America. California as an island, with a flat northern coast. Straight of Anian.In sum, the Cl ver atlas contains a beautiful suite of maps, all nicely engraved, in a handsome compact quarto format. Book.

[28], 607, [133] pp. Seventeenth-century edition of Philipp Cl ver s foundational geographic treatise.Complete with forty-three maps and several diagrams, documenting the global cartographic knowledge of the era.Wolfenb ttel edition of Philipp Cl ver s highly influential Introductio In Universam Geographiam, a text that fundamentally shaped geographic education in the seventeenth century. Originally published in 1624 shortly after Cl ver s death, the work systematically categorized both historical and contemporary global geography. This specific iteration, printed by Caspar Johann Bismark at the expense of Conrad Buno s widow, features the editorial enhancements of Johannes Buno and further revisions by Johann Friedrich Hekel. It stands as a comprehensive record of the world as understood by European scholars approaching the dawn of the Enlightenment.Philipp Cl ver is widely recognized as the founder of historical geography. His Introductio was designed as an accessible compendium of global geographic knowledge, synthesizing ancient sources such as Ptolemy and Strabo with the latest discoveries of the Age of Exploration. The text proved exceptionally popular, running through dozens of editions across Europe in multiple languages over the following century. The plates in this Wolfenb ttel edition were primarily engraved by Herman Mosting and Martin Hailler. The complex publication history of this edition is evidenced by the dual dating on the title pages, with the letterpress title dated 1686 and the elaborate engraved allegorical frontispiece dated 1687. The inclusion of forty-three folding and full-page maps elevates the work from a mere textual treatise to a robust portable atlas.Cartographic Breadth: California as an Island (or not)The suite of forty-three maps spans the entirety of the known globe, offering separate delineations for both ancient and modern geographic understandings. Notable among these is the twin-hemisphere world map, Typus Orbis Terrarum, which presents California as a peninsula, details the tentative coastlines of Terra Australis Incognita, and evokes interest in the Pacific. As in other editions of Cl ver, the separate map of the Americas is quite out of date and clearly depicts California as a large, detached island, marked: "Nova Albion. I. S. Franc Draco. California." This map, engraved by Herman Mosting, is described by Burden as appearing in an earlier Cl ver edition of 1661, being derived from the Nicolaas Visscher map of circa 1658.The regional maps of Europe are particularly dense, reflecting the focus of Cl ver s own specialized studies on the antiquities of Germania, Italia, and Sicilia. Further afield, in addition to the maps of the Americas, there are maps of the sprawling Empire of China, the East Indies, and Africa.Engraving and IllustrationThe cartography reflects the distinct hands of its engravers, Herman Mosting and Martin Hailler, whose signatures app. Book.

The Ancient Germanic World -- Illustrated with Maps by Nicolas Van Geelkercken.Nice example of the first edition of Philipp Cl ver s Germania Antiqua, one of the most influential works of early modern historical geography.Cl ver, often regarded as the father of historical geography, combined classical sources with his own extensive travels throughout Europe to reconstruct the ancient geography, peoples, and cultures of Germania. This work secured his appointment as Geographus Academicus and honorary professor at Leiden University, a position created especially for him.The volume provides a comprehensive survey of the Germanic world in antiquity, drawing upon Roman authors such as Tacitus, Strabo, and Ptolemy, while supplementing their accounts with Cl ver s personal observations. It examines tribal settlements, religion, customs, and military practices of the ancient Germans, presented through a rich combination of text, engraved maps, and illustrative tables.Includes an elegant allegorical title frontispiece, 11 double-page maps engraved by Nicolas Van Geelkerken (among them maps of Europe (2) Germany, Vindelicia, Noricum, the Low Countries, Switzerland, Scandinavia) and 26 full-page copper engravings depicting Germanic warriors, battle scenes, and comparative tables of peoples.The Germania Antiqua was an essential reference for early modern scholars, historians, and antiquarians, and it remained a cornerstone of the discipline well into the eighteenth century.

An Enduring Work of Historical Importance Nice example of this important historical atlas, which was first published in 1624. This edition is an early milestone in the history of Cl ver, published in Amsterdam by Janssonius (Jan Jansson) and including for the first time a number of modern maps from the Janssonius editions of the Mercator Atlas Minor. Published posthumously, Philipp Cl ver s most important work cemented his legacy as a pioneering figure in historical geography. During his time as a soldier, Cluver traveled extensively across Europe, visiting Germany, England, Scotland, Holland, and Italy. A year after his return to Leiden, he was appointed geographus academicus ("academic geographer") with an annual stipend, marking the beginning of his significant contributions to the field of geography. Cl ver's approach to geography was deeply intertwined with history and classical authors, a method popular during the Enlightenment era. Antiquarian geography sought to clarify place names known from classical literature, which had become geographically confused by the Renaissance. Cluver's extensive travels and local observations enriched his work, allowing him to supplement classical literary sources with firsthand knowledge. His concise descriptions of various countries provided a robust human and historical context, establishing Cluver as the founder of historical geography. The main text of Cl ver s work offers a comprehensive description of all the countries of the world, including a notable section on the Americas. The first edition, published in 1624, did not include maps, but later editions featured impressive, engraved maps of Italy, Africa, Russia, China, India, and America. Notably, the map of America in this edition shows California attached to the continent, in contrast to its depiction as an island in later editions. Many of these maps were etched by the renowned cartographer Petrus Bertius. The addition of a number of modern maps allows for a comparison of ancient and modern geographical knowledge which is not present in most editions of Cluver's Introductionis. Cl ver's work was highly regarded by his contemporaries, with twenty editions published in multiple languages between 1624 and 1729, including two additional editions in 1661. The Introductionis remained a standard reference through the mid-17th century, underscoring its enduring impact on the field of geography. There were two editions of the Introductionis in Universam Geographiam published in 1661. One was printed by Elsevier's press in Amsterdam and was much smaller in size (a duodecimo), with only 38 maps in a smaller format. A possible third edition issued at Leyden has been described as a likely ghost. Book.

First edition thus as published by the Elzeviers of Amsterdam: a compact copy of this prominent work…by the founder of historical geography, the German historian and cartographer Clüver (1580-1622) which first appeared in 1624. It is divided into 6 books, with the first book giving an account of the planet Earth, including a discussion of its climate zones, its rotation, remarks about navigation at sea and signs of the zodiac, while the following books describe various countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The plates show circles of longitude and latitude, the winds of the Mediterranean, cardinal directions and measures of distance. Also, the present edition includes the "Breviarium totius orbis terrarum" by the Flemish geographer Peter Bertius (1565-1629), further describing various countries and providing a list of Roman and Holy Roman Emperors. The small 12mo format is a characteristic of the books issued by the famous Elzevir printing and publishing house and soon became very desirable among bibliophiles. - With shelfmarks to the pastedown and the lower flyleaf. Binding rubbed, brownstained. From the library of the Viennese collector Werner Habel, with his signed and stamped ownership, dated 1982, to the flyleaf. - Willems 1242. Cf.

Add to basketsenza rilegatura. Condition: quasi ottimo. Amstelodami, Apud Joannem Jansonium, 1652 ca. Incisione originale all' acquaforte rialzata a mano all' epoca ad acquarello in fine coloritura. Dimensioni: il foglio 53,3 cm x 41,4 cm, linea di cornice 50 cm x 38 cm. In basso a destra, entro cartiglio, troviamo l' elenco degli autori gre…ci e latini consultati dal Cluverio. L' autore nella carta combina lo studio delle fonti classiche con le conoscenze empiriche per rappresentare l' Italia tutta secondo la prospettiva della geografia storica: dalle Alpi alla Calabria, con Dalmazia e Corsica, le isole Eolie, parte della Sicilia e la Sardegna intera. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione. L' autore, umanista e geografo tedesco di Danzica, è noto anche con il nome italianizzato in Filippo Cluverio, è considerato tra i fondatori della geografia storica, combinando metodi letterari e empirici: in particolare, fu il primo a descrivere e illustrare i siti antichi integrando all' attento studio delle fonti letterarie, epigrafiche, archeologiche e toponomastiche, sempre modernamente elencate in apertura dei suoi volumi, le osservazioni praticate fatte direttamente sul terreno durante i suoi viaggi di perlustrazione. Il Cluverio ha il merito di avere per primo dimostrato come la ricostruzione delle condizioni geografiche di età passate non sia possibile senza l' osservazione diretta delle condizioni presenti. Gli studiosi anteriori di questa disciplina, come Giacomo Gastaldi e il fiammingo Abramo Ortelio, avevano fatto essenzialmente opera da umanisti, studiando esclusivamente i testi classici, i documenti epigrafici e storici piuttosto che sull' osservazione diretta o sulla ricerca scientifica di discipline come la geografia storica. Il loro lavoro era basato su un approccio filologico e umanistico, tipico dell'epoca rinascimentale, che prediligeva la riscoperta e l'interpretazione di testi classici senza però includere l' analisi diretta dei fenomeni geografici o l' uso di metodi scientifici di indagine; crea un contrasto con un approccio più moderno che non si limita ai testi, ma che verrà poi sviluppato da studiosi successivi, come Cluverio.

A former student of the great chronologist and classical scholar Joseph Scaliger at Leiden, Clüver began publishing on geography in 1611 with a study of the ancient Rhine region, before going on to publish works on ancient Sicily, Sardinia, and Italy. In many ways, Clüver was a typical and erudite example of that particular breed of polymath who came to define the scholarly world of the early modern Republic of Letters. His primary interest lay in reconstructing the geography of antiquity, combining personal travel and observation with a close reading of the ancients, which consequently required both the skill of the geographer and the expertise of the antiquarian and philologist. The Introductio in universam geographiam, his most complete introduction to world geography, was largely intended as a guide for students and became the standard geographical reference work of the period. It begins with a discussion of basic, universal, geographical features mountains, bodies of water, climate, and so forth before devoting individual books to the geography of various nations. The majority of the work, books two through to four, covers Europe, subdivided into regions and countries and stretching from Portugal in the south west to Moscow in the north east; book five is devoted to Asia, including India, Central Asia, Persia, the Middle East, and the western border of China; while book six covers the known parts of Africa which is to say, predominantly Egypt, Ethiopia, and Mediterranean North Africa as well as North and South America, if rather cursorily. The first edition of Clüver's work was published by Elzevir in Leiden in 1624 and was much reprinted in a number of different versions and formats in the following decades. This present copy was published in 1686 and is the work of the publisher Conrad Buno and the printer Caspar Johann Bismarck, both of whom had already collaborated on the first Wolfenbüttel edition of 1661. Just like earlier German editions, this edition contains a version of Clüver's text edited and supplemented by the German schoolteacher Johann Buno, a professor of geography and history in Luneburg and brother of Conrad. As a result, the text is far more extensive and detailed than earlier editions (the Leiden first edition ran to less than 250 pages). This copy also contains the full set of almost fifty engraved maps, which are often missing or only partially present in other existing copies. Provenance: perhaps the poet and diplomat Friedrich Ludwig von Canitz (16541699). The Biblioteca Caniziana was auctioned in February 1700. Language: Latin.
