Joan Blaeu - Atlas Maior of 1665 - 2016

Joan Blaeu. Atlas Maior of 1665. Wordt verzekerd verzonden. De ATLAS MAIOR, het cartografisch meesterwerk uit de barok werd tussen 1662 en 1665 uitgebracht door de Amsterdamse uitgever Joan Blaeu. De atlas bevatte 594 kaarten in 11 volumes, die de hele wereld omvatten. Het was het grootste en duurste boek uit de 17e eeuw. Dit is de internationale editie. De teksten zijn in het Engels, Frans en Duits. World class: The finest atlas ever published. Superlatives tend to fail in face of Joan Blaeu s Atlas Maior, one of the most extravagant feats in the history of mapmaking. The original Latin edition, completed in 1665, was the largest and most expensive book to be published during the 17th century. Its 594 maps across 11 volumes spanned Arctica, Asia, Europe, and America. Its scale and ambition occupies such an important place in Dutch history that it is included in the Canon of Dutch History, an official survey of 50 individuals, creations, or events that chart the historical development of the Netherlands.
