(Atlases) I67; European Americana 576/35; Sabin 64149; JCB I, 263-264; Adams P-1905. This is one of the most beautiful works of its kind produced in the 16th century, and is the ?rst to have maps engraved on copper rather than on woodblocks. "The popularity of Bordone's Isolario brought forth a successor, which from both the cartographical and topographical point of view was far more distinguished. Porcacchi's description of the "most famous islands of the world" included the areas represented in the other atlas, and devoted the third book to islands of the New World, of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. " "The ?rst world map is a ?nely-executed reduction of Camocio's large world map of 1567, one of the last in the long line of derivatives from Gastaldis prototype of 1546. The illustrated tract on islands presented here is said to be Porcacchi's most important work. - ~ ~ ~ Most of the maps included are: Iceland, Hebridean islands and Orkney, Gotland, Hibernia (Ireland), England, Scotland, Sealand, Maiorica, Menorica (Spain), Malta, Venice, Italian archipelago, corfu, Curzolari, Ionia, Kefalonia( island in the Ionian Sea), Zante, Morea, Cerigo, Candi (of Indonesia), Scarpanto, Rhodi, Santorini, Milo, Nixsia, (Cyrus), Metellino, Constantinople, Stalimene (Aegean), Negroponte, (Greece), Ciprus, Temistitan, Mondo Nuouo, Spagnola, Cuba, San Lorenzo, (Peru), S.Giovanni, deL isole Molucche (Indonesia) and Del Mappamondo.

Excellent enlarged edition of one of the most beautifully engraved Italian island books of the sixteenth century. L'isole piu famose was the first with maps engraved on copper; and with the Gastaldi edition of Ptolemy¿s Geografia, 1548, it was among the few geographical works of any kind illustrated with engravings. This edition of Porcacchi contains much more than the first. According to Phillips Atlases it contains 17 maps not in the edition of 1572, including two relating to America: Jamaica and Puerto Rico, here called ¿Isola di S. Giovanni¿ for San Juan. Also included are maps of Spagnola and CUBA, Altogether, pages 154 to 184 relate to America. The volume closes with ¿Descrizione del Mappamondo¿ and ¿Discorso intorno alla carta da navigare,¿ pages 193 to 201, illustrated with two splendid Lafrerian-style maps of the world engraved by the Paduan Girolamo Porro. Porro, well-known as a book illustrator, later engraved maps for the first small-format Mercator atlas and for a Ptolemy (both appearing in 1596). According to Shirley, the oval-shaped world map ¿is a finely-executed reduction of Camocio¿s large world map of 1567, one of the last in the long line of derivatives from Gastaldi's prototype of 1546.¿ * Adams P-1906; Sabin 64105; Shirley 127-28; see The World Encompassed 86.…
