Description
Lovely double hemisphere map from a Dutch Bible. Title inside the surrounding allegorical representations of the continents, based on Visscher. CALIFORNIA IS AN ISLAND with a flat northern coastline, Australia is partially mapped and there is only a hint of New Zealand. The Northwest American and east Asian coastlines are incomplete. Diagrams of the Copernican and Ptolemaic solar systems rest between the hemispheres. These 2 diagrams are different from editions after 1700 with the same size of this map. This edition of Bastiaan Stoopendaal was only in bibles of 1688 and 1700.
