"Estats de l Empire du Grand Seigneur dit Sultan et Ottomans Empereur des Turcs dans Trois Parties du Monde Scavoir en Europe en Asie et en Afrique...", Leth, Hendrik de

This attractive small map shows the extent of the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans to Persia, including all of Arabia and North Africa. Includes inset maps of the kingdoms of Algeria, Tunisia, and part of Libya, and another of the Sahara Desert. The map is based on the cartography of Nicolas Sanson, and is a reduced version of his map of 1654. There is a French text notation on the map regarding the Nile and its source in Ethiopia. For his Nouvel Atlas, Leth made close copies of Jacques Chiquet's maps published in Le Nouveau et Curieux Atlas in 1719.
