Description
Rare english edition A beautiful map of Ischia island with a part of the coast near Naples. Superbly engraved and highly decorative. Several sailing ships, three cartouches, engraved buildings and ruins.
606E88 (300 copies printed) (last line, left aligned: "lysius" of the Bathes of "Puteoliæ".)
THE RARE ENGLISH EDITION OF ORTELIUS'S THEATRUM. With its 161 maps and further five engraved plates, the English Theatrum was 'the tallest volume printed in England up to that date... also the largest collection of intaglio prints in a single book yet published in England' (Skelton).
The English version was based on the Latin edition of Ortelius's atlas, published by Vrients in 1603. According to Skelton and Van der Krogt, before sending the plates from Antwerp to England, the versos were erased, the English text then being printed at the Eliot's Court Press by Bradwood.
The likely translator of the text from Latin into English is William Bedwell (1561-1632).
Reference: Ort 142 (Koeman/Meurer: 120, Karrow: 1/171, vdKrogtAN: 7550:31).
