Item Overview

Description

This early atlas is Giovanni Lorenzo d'Anania's L’Universale fabrica del mondo. The work was published in Venice in 1582 by Andrea Muschio for Aniello San Vito, di Napoli.

This is the only edition of Anania's work to include a map of the world. The plate was first published in Girolamo Ruscelli's 1561 Geografia. The other four maps of the continent are believed to be done by Girolamo Porro.

There are 230 leaves to the volume including 5 full sheet engraved maps bound at the end. The maps are of the world [Orbis Descriptio], Europa, America, Africa, and Asia. There is a depiction of a woodcut printer's device to the title page. It is bound in contemporary French cat's paw calf, covers with gilt French fillet border, marbled endpapers, plain edges. It has been expertly rebacked to style.
