Description from the seller

Ancient and fascinating map of Romagna and the Duchy of Parma, taken from a French edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Abraham Ortelius (Amsterdam, early 17th century).

The original title is “Romandiola cum Ducatus Parmensi”, with detailed representation of the territories of Ravenna, Forlì, Cesena, Rimini, Ferrara, Bologna, Modena, Reggio, Parma and Piacenza, as well as the Apennine reliefs up to Tuscany (Lucca, Pistoia, Prato, Florence) and the Ligurian coast of the Sea of Genoa.

Antique contemporary colouring, very elegant.
On the back is the original French text, with page number 495, characteristic of the French editions of the Théâtre du Monde of 1602–1606.
