Hardcover. Condition: very good. Franconia, nobilissim Germaniae ducatus, de Jode, 1593 Franconia Nobilissim. Germaniae Ducatus - de Jode ,1593. Size: 35 x 46cm., little brownish Verso text: Latin From: Speculum Orbis Terrae. Antwerpen, G. De Jode, 1593. (Van der Krogt 3, 2:02) "In 1578 Gerard de Jode published his Speculum Orbis Terrarum, an atlas aimed at competing with the Theatrum of Ortelius. However, the latter had first been issued in 1570 and had already built a commanding market presence, and so despite de Jode's longer standing reputation the atlas did not sell very well. Only a dozen or so examples have survived.

Blattgröße ca. 36 x 44 cm, Bildausschnitt ca. 19 x 26,5 cm (Kräftiger Abzug. Bis an den Rand der Darstellung beschnitten und auf Papier des 18. Jhdts. aufgezogen. Mit schwarzer Tuschlinie umfasst. Papier etw. gebräunt). Der Prophet Jeremia lebte etwa von 660 bis 580 v. Chr. und übte seinen Dienst unter den letzten sieben Königen von Juda aus. Er stammte aus einem Priestergeschlecht in Anatot, wurde schon in jungen Jahren als Prophet berufen und blieb um den Herrn willen ledig. Als Bote des Herrn mußte er dem immer verderbter handelnden Volk eine ernste Gerichtsbotschaft verkünden, an der der empfindsame Jeremia selbst sehr litt; er wird nicht umsonst "der weinende Prophet" genannt. Für seine Botschaft, daß Jerusalem fallen und Juda in Gefangenschaft geraten wird, schlug ihm von den Führern und dem Volk viel Haß und Feindseligkeit entgegen; er wurde als Landesverräter ins Gefängnis geworfen und kam beinahe in einer Zisterne um.

Condition: Good. Engraving on contemporary laid paper. 27 x 32.5 cm. sheet size. Wide margins. At bottom center: Isarides suasu matris benedicitur, atque / Efficitur faelix a genitore suo. / Gene .27. After Maarten de Vos. Pl. 2 from the series «The story of Jacob and Esau», published by Gerard de Jode: Blind Isaac blessing Jacob disguised as Esau. Ref. Hollstein XLIV: 69. Met Museum, 51.501.1715(2).

Condition: Fine. This truly significant map is from one of the rarest atlases ever published, Gerard and Cornelis de Jode's Speculum orbis Terrae. The work was published in Antwerp in 1593 by Arnold Coninx for the widow and heirs. This is considered the second edition, revised an expanded. The first edition was published in 1578. Van Ortroy knew of only 14 copies of the second edition being published. (Skelton, Introduction to the facsimile editions)De Jode drew upon his large stock of maps from Italian, German, and Flemish cartographers to create his atlas. He engraved some of the maps and his brothers, Joannes and Lucas van Deutecum, also contributed to the process. The second edition included additional maps from Gerard's son Cornelis. The maps have descriptive text to verso in Latin. The text for the first edition was written by the German scholar, Daniel Cellarius.The atlas contained some of the most groundbreaking maps ever published. The maps of the world, Americas, Australia, and China are of particular note and remain some of the most important maps ever published. While it may not have had commercial success at the time, it is considered a masterpiece of 16th century cartography. Very few examples of the maps have survived from either edition.Gerard de Jode (1521- 1591) was a Flemish cartographer, printer, and engraver. He produced and sold many maps in Antwerp, but his legacy lies in his outstanding atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum. De Jode was a contemporary and competitor of Abraham Ortelius. Ortelius was believed to have been responsible for delaying de Jode's work so his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum would precede de Jode's. Because Ortelius's atlas had 8 years on the market it was well established and thus de Jode's atlas did not sell very well.To compete with Ortelius, de Jode worked on the second revised and expanded edition. De Jode's wife and son, Cornelis (1568-1600) took over the publishing upon Gerard's death in 1591. Cornelis prepared ten new maps of the World, North America, China, Australia and Alaska and re-issued the atlas. "Many of de Jodeâs maps are judged to be superior to those of Ortelius, both in detail and style." (Burden)Antwerp publisher Joan Baptista Vrients purchased the plates after Cornelis's death. He also acquired Ortelius's plates for Theatrum Orbis Terrarum to which he gave priority. It is likely he bought de Jode's plates to prevent any further editions of Speculum of course only increasing the intrigue and worth of the maps today."Although the atlas may not have appealed to the public, it was admired by other cartographers. As evidence, Petrus Montanus mentions it in the same breath with Mercatorâs Atlas and Orteliusâ Theatrum in his preface to Pieter Kaeriusâ Germaniae inferior (Wardington Catalogue), Michael von Aitzing refers to it in his work, DeLeone Belgico (1583). Von Aitzing intended his work to act also as a supplement to both the Theatrum of Ortelius and the Speculum of De Jode."
