Beschreibung

Measuring 350x447 mm (13,8x17,6 inches) its 200 contain 200 illuminations, mostly of the coasts of Spain, it was commissioned by Phillip IV of Spain and finished in 1634 by the Portuguese cartographer Pedro Texeira after sailing through those seas for six years. The original edition is housed under signature Cod. Min. 46 in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Viena, Austria, where it was rediscovered in the year 2000 by the Spanish researchers Fernando Marías and Felipe Pereda. But the most special feature is probably the world map displaying the world known at the time of the making of this marvelous atlas. Now you can get a copy with the accompanying commentary volume in like-new condition at almost half price from the 898 units long facsimile edition by Siloe Arte y Bibliofilia.
