Beschreibung
Ancona: F. Salvioni, 1579-80. 135 x 85mm. Narrow margins, as issued. A scarce map of Sicly within a circle with only a few place names and two sea monsters. It was engraved by Michel'Angelo Marrelli for 'Diporti Notterni Dialloghi.', a small military manual that contained 28 maps of islands. The author, Francesco Ferreti (1523-93), was a Knight of the Order of St Stephen, which was founded by Cosimo I de' Medici to help fight the Ottomans and pirates of the Mediterranean and had participated at the great Battle of Lepanto less than a decade earlier. Dedicated to Francesco de'Medici, Cosimo's son and successor as Grand Duke of Tuscany, the manual's maps are of the Mediterranean islands most at risk, with a map of Britain being the only exception.
