Description
Map from the very rare “Anfiteatro d’Europa” published in Venice in 1623.
The book was written by Giovanni Doglioni and it was published by the Venetian Giacomo Sarzina.
Together with the text there are one world map and 33 maps of Europe. Oddly enough, these maps were realized after those shown in Ortelius Epitome, engraved by Philip Galle, and not after the pirate edition published by Pietro Marchetti in Venice.
These are therefore new plates, presenting minor differences with those of Marchetti. The work has never been reissued and is quite rare.
Copper engraving, included in the text page which described the map, wormholes, otherwise in good condition.

Printer in Venice, which boasted the official definition of "stampatore dell'Accademia de gl'Incogniti " which was founded in 1630 and initially chaired by Guido Casoni, creator of the device representing the Nile with the motto "Ex ignoto notus". Sarzina would have printed the works of academic until his death in 1641. The works of the Academicians Incogniti, however, were present in the catalogs of other Venetian printers in such quantity as to suggest that in the city Incogniti and Loredan held major editorial functions.
