Nouveau Plan de la Ville de Rome tiré par ordre du Pape par Matteo Gregoria de Romans Tres Utille pour les Voiageurs

Mixed projection map of Rome, oriented with north to the left, circa 1706. 

Based on the map of Rome by Lievin Cruyl (1665) and subsequent reprint of 1696. For Scaccia Scarafoni first and then Marigliani was published in Amsterdam in 1706 without any update and therefore represents Rome as it was at the end of '600. At the top left is the map of the surroundings of Rome (see Marigliani p. 252).

The map is included in the Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. 

Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684 - 1743) was a Huguenot pastor of Parisian origins. He is best known as a Dutch cartographer and more specifically for his cartographic contribution in the seminal seven volume Atlas Historique, published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720. Innovative for its time, the Atlas Historique combined fine engraving and artwork with scholarly studies of geography, history, ethnology, heraldry, and cosmography. Some scholarship suggests that the Atlas Historique was not exclusively compiled by Henri Chatelain, as is commonly believed, but rather was a family enterprise involving Henri, his father Zacharie and his brother, also Zacharie.

Etching, in excellent condition.
