Fine small map of all Italy, with Sardinia and Corsica, but only the northern part of Sicily. Decorated with a strapwork title cartouche and compass rose. German text on verso.
This map was re-engraved for Jan Jansson's editions of the Atlas Minor, published in 5 editions between 1628-48. The copperplates for the original Atlas Minor editions published by Hondius were sold to parties in England between 1621-25. Jansson commissioned Pieter van den Keere and Abraham Goos to engrave new plates, which were close copies of the original editions.
