Description
Carta geografica di Maiorca a firma Ferrando Bertelli.
Al centro dell’isola MAIORICA. In alto a sinistra in una targa con bordi ornati DE MAIORICA INSULA. MAIORICA ex duabus prope hispaniam ad orie[n]tem belearibus, sive gimnesis insulis altera maior et occidentalior contra iben iluminis ostia, à re sic dicta eius motropolis ad orientem solem septentrionem versus eodem nunc nomine quo et insula prius ut fetur palma vocata optimo portu, academia universali doctrina q[uae] lulliana nobilis ad meridiem vero alteram habet civitatem bollentiam sive pollentiam nomine Iuxta littora plana est et saecunda in interioribus vero contra, montibus referta et infaecunda. Ferando bertelli. Exc.
Orientazione nei quattro lati al centro con il nome dei venti TRAMONTANA, MEZZODI, PONENTE, LEVANTE il nord è a sinistra. Carta priva di scala grafica e graduazione ai margini.
La carta di Maiorca a firma Ferrando Bertelli, sebbene non datata, sembra essere la più antica di questa tipologia di mappe, ed appartiene ad un ampio progetto editoriale della tipografia Bertelli che realizza una serie cartografica dedicata alle isole del Mediterraneo, a partire da 1560 circa.
Le carte sono, occasionalmente, poi inserite nella pubblicazione Civitatum aliquot insignorum del 1568 e più spesso nella successiva edizione della stessa opera datata 1574 e firmata da Donato Bertelli. Dal punto di vista cartografico le mappe non hanno nulla di attinente alla realtà delle isole; la carta di Maiorca è completamente rovesciata, probabilmente poiché incisa nello stesso verso del disegno dal quale è stata ripresa. Per questo la posizione di Palma, Capo Formentor e dell’isola di Dragonera risultano speculari.
L’autore delle fonti cartografiche rimane sconosciuto. Delle carte delle isole Baleari del Bertelli esistono delle copie molto simili, e spesso si trovano negli atlanti lafreriani stampate sullo stesso foglio. Pertanto i repertori le hanno spesso confuse. La carta è altresì inserita nell’esemplare del Civitatutm Aliquot insignorum et locor[um] di Ferrando Bertelli conservato all’Università di Helsinki.
Stati & edizioni: 1°: come descritto, a firma Ferando bertelli Exc.
2°: abrasa la firma del Bertelli.

Bertelli family represents the largest group of publishers, engravers, cartographers and merchants of prints of the sixteenth century. Ferrando Bertelli was the most productive, active between 1570, the 1560th, but maps of the last quarter of the century are known by the names of Andrea, Donato, Lucca, Nicholas and Peter. This was mainly active in Padua, where he led a workshop in letterpress and engravings. The earliest records show the asset at the date of 1589 as an engraver of several plates for an edition entitled Diversarum nationum habitus which was published in collaboration with Alciato Alciati. Pietro Bertelli had a library in Padua "the banner of the Angel". At his death the business was inherited by his son Francis. Bertelli was wandering engraver, copperplate engraver and publisher, print dealer active in Venice between 1561 and 1572. We do not have the precise biographical Bertelli.
He teamed with Camocio and the Forlani for the edition and trade cards and plants, they should also become the core business of spreading in the city by Italian and foreign ones, increasing the development of cartography. As a publisher chalcographer emerged from his workshop papers invention of Giacomo Gastaldi, Pirro Ligorio etc.. Although numerous papers of Drawings of the most illustrious cities and fortresses in the world (Venice 1568) bear his signature. Of 1572 is his last edition, the famous islands, harbors, fortresses … Sig.ria subject to Venice, a collection of 88 maps and charts, loose and perhaps already published some of them attributable to the engraving by Martin Rota Sibenik . Later, Ferrando mapss were reprinted by Donato Bertelli (by which we can not determine whether there were family ties) and Donato Rascicotti. Bibliography: Valerio, Cartographers Veneti, p. 149.
