Description
Map of Tuscia taken from Philippi Cluverii Introductionis in Universam Geographiam printed in 1676 an illustrated with 46 maps by Petrus Kaerius (Pieter van der Keer).
Philip Cluver’s Introductionis is considered the standard geographical text-book of the seventeenth century, as he is known as the father of modern historical geography. The Introductionis was published numerous times between 1624 and 1729 with each successive edition becoming more elaborate and the later editions including finely engraved maps. This edition was published by Johann Jansson van Waesbergen. About half the maps are classical ones derived from Abraham Ortelius' Parergon.
The map is derived from Abraham Ortelius' Tusciae Antiquae Typus, published in the "Parergon" in 1584. The cartographic sources used by Ortelius are Girolomano Bellarmato's Chorographia Tusciae of 1536 (Meurer p. 113, Karrow 10/1, p. 78-80), supplemented by classical sources, such as Livy, Pliny, Cato, Vergil, Halicarnassus and Plutarch.
Etching, good condition.
