Nice town view of Koblenz in Rheinland-Pfalz from Bertius’s “Commentariorum rerum germanicum libri tres” published in Amsterdam at Jannsonius in 1616.
Superb map of the German Empire showing northern Europe, from the eastern tip of England to Poland, and extends from the North Sea to Venice and the coast of Croatia published by Johan Baptiste Vrients for the 1612 edition of Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world.

Nice town view of Mainz in Rheinland-Pfalz from Bertius’s “Commentariorum rerum germanicum libri tres” published in Amsterdam at Jannsonius in 1616.
Important and rare map of this Germany’s area. In 1578, Gerard De Jode published his atlas entitled Speculum Orbis Terrarum.This work, likely due to the strong market presence of Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sold poorly. This map comes from the second and last edition of the Atlas by Cornelis De Jode. [cod.1240/15]
Beautifully engraved map of ancient Germany showing in hight details the northern Europe from the Adriatic to the Baltic and Netherlands.
Really interesting the latin nomenclature of the cities, town rivers and mountains.
From the 1624 final edition of Ortelius’s “Parergon in quo Veteris Geographiae aliquot tabulae… – Nomenclator Ptolemaicus” with the text by Balthasar Moretus.
Ortelius’s Parergon began as a companion to his Theatrum but eventually it became an independent work. In fact, this collection of maps of the ancient world was so significant that it became the model for all historical atlases published throughout the seventeenth century. The maps and plates in the Parergon have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century (Koeman).
