"Italia Nova", Cluver, Philipp

This finely engraved and very detailed map covers the entire country and includes Sardinia and Corsica, part of Sicily, the Adriatic Sea and the western Dalmatian coast. This is a less common edition with the title surrounded by two cornucopias. Engraved by Martin Hailler.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London.
