TABULA ITALIÆ ANTIQUÆ in REGIONES XI ab Augusto divifæet tum ad mensuras itinerarias tum ad observationes astronomicas exactæ

Guilliame Delisle (1675-1726) is important as the first "scientific" cartographer who incorporated the most current information on exploration and topography into his maps. He adopted entirely new principles in cartography and set about making a thorough reform in that subject. Delisle recognized that the new methods of measuring by scale and of marking the places were very valuable for cartography; with this help he therefore produced a new and more accurate picture of the world.A detailed map of Italy showing the various regions and islands of Corsica and Sardinia as well as a part of Sicily. The map covers a part of Croatian and Greek coast.

Very good condition; slight browning in the centrefold, not affecting the image; good margins.
