Description
Miniature map of Malta. From the second series of miniature atlas of Ortelius' Epitome. A new series of pocket-size atlases was begun by Philip Galle in 1588. It seems that he was not satisfied with the quality of the maps in the Spieghel der Wereld. The maps are now engraved in a much better style.
Latin text on verso. The descriptive text was printed on verso of the preceding map, thus the text on verso is not responding to the map.
Reference: Krogt, Atlantes Neerlandici, 332:12.
