Description
Rare map of Sardinia taken from the Uebersetzung der Algemeinen Welthistorie, die in Engeland durch eine Geselschaft von Gelehrten ausgefertiget worden published in Halle by the heirs of publisher Johann Justinus Gebauer in 1784.
This map is made to illustrate the writings of Johann Friedrich LeBret (1732 Untertürkheim - 1807 à Tübingen) was a theologian, historian, professor at the Hohe Karlsschule and chancellor of the University of Tübingen. As a historian, LeBret devoted himself primarily to Italian history. His main works were a history of the Republic of Venice and a history of Italy, published in 1769. He expanded his history of Italy for the new edition of the "General History of the World" published by Franz Dominikus Häberlin, which was republished by Johann Justinus Gebauer and his son Johann Jakob Gebauer.
Although some assign this map of Sardinia, as author, to Johann Friedrich LeBret, it seems more correct to attribute it to Johann Jakob Gebauer, publisher and printer of the map.
Etching, finely hand-colored, in excellent condition.

Johann Justinus Gebauer (May 19, 1710 in Waltershausen, † January 26, 1772 in Halle) was a German publisher. From 1724 Johann Justinus Gebauer completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller with Chr. Franciscus Buch in Jena. He then worked from 1732, initially as a factor in the printing works of Stephan Orban (1681–1732) in Halle. After Orban's death, he bought his own printing house and continued to run it. Later, he founded his own publishing house in Halle. After Gebauer's death, the company was continued from 1772, first by his son Johann Jakob Gebauer and from 1818 by his grandson Friedrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Gebauer (1786-1819). When he died at the age of just 33, Carl August Schwetschke acquired the Gebauer printing and publishing house, which has operated ever since under the name Gebauer-Schwetschke. Gebauer printed around 500 works; among the most important are - in addition to the first editions of the Canstein Bible - the publication of the first 30 volumes of the Allgemeinen Welthistorie (1742-1766, edited by Georg David Kypke and Johann Salomo Semler, among others), the edition in 24 volumes of the writings of Martin Luther (1740-1753) edited by Johann Georg Walch and the Postilla of the Lutheran church of Walch. In addition to German and Latin titles, Gebauer also published and printed works in Bohemian, Polish and Hungarian.
