RESUMEN DEL LIBRO: All 113 maps of England, Scotland and Ireland, and the original commentaries from Joan Blaeu's Atlas Maior of 1665, The greatest and finest Atlas ever published. The Atlas Maior, the cartographical masterpiece of the Baroque period was brought out between 1662 and 1665 by the Amsterdam publisher Joan Blaeu, one of the Holland's leading cartographers. Originally appearing in Latin, the atlas comprised 594 maps in 11 volumes, which depicted the whole world as known to early modern Europe. It was the largest and most expensive book published during the 17h century. For more than 100 years it remained the definitive atlas of the world, and today is among the most sought - after and valuable rarities. The reprinted edition in six volumes is based on the hand - collored gold - heightened copy in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, thus ensuring the best possible detail and quality. Alongside Joan Blaeu's original commentaries on the individual maps, a new text by Peter van der Krogt explains the historical and cultural associations and introduces the reader to the fascinating world of early modern cartography. Anglia, Scotia et Hibernia, features 58 maps of England and 55 maps of Scotland and Ireland and the text is in English, French and German.
