Description
The map was first published from the famous "Viaggio da Venetia a Costantinopoli per mare, e per terra, & insieme quello di Terra Santa. Da Gioseppo Rosaccio con brevita descritto. Nel quale, oltre à Settantadui disegni, di geografia, e corografia si discorre, quanto in esso viaggio, si ritrova. Cioe. Citta, Castelli, Porti, Golfi, Isole, Monti, Fiumi, e Mari. Opera utile, à Mercanti Marinai et à Studiosi di Geografia" by Rosaccio, published in Venice in 1598 by Giacomo Franco.
This example is taken from the work Universus terrarum orbis scriptorum calamo delineatus ... qui de Europae, Asiae, Africae, & Americae regnis, provinciis, populis, civitatibus.... published in Padua in 1713, at Matteo Cadorin, by Raffaello Savonarola, under the pseudonym of Lasor a Varea (or Varela).
The work was a kind of encyclopedia containing news about the various localities of the world arranged in alphabetical order, enriched with maps and views of the whole world belonging to famous cartographic collections of the past-Bertelli, Valegio, Camocio, Bonifacio, Nelli, Magini, and others-of which the publisher Cadorin probably possessed the original plates.
Copper engraving, in excellent condition.

Giuseppe ROSACCIO Pordenone circa 1530 – Venezia 1621
|
physician, travel writer, geographer, cosmographer and cartographer, he is known for some geographical and cosmographical works, which, although not large volume, brought him some fame and was reprinted several times. Among them the Teatro del Cielo e della Terra (Venezia 1595), Mondo e le sue parti, cioè Europa, Affrica, Asia et America (Verona 1596), il Microcosmo (Firenze 1600), iMondo elementare e celeste (Treviso 1604), il Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza della Terra (Firenze). He also supervised an edition of Ptolemy's Geography, printed in Venice in 1599, accompanied with some Discorsi and 42 new tables. He is also the author of a large map of the world (Venice 1597), a large map of Italy (Florence 1609) and one of Tuscany (Florence 1609). In all these works, however, shows little originality.
