Description

copper engraving – NO verso text. EXTREMELY RARE edition map from “Asiae Nova Descriptio [Tabularum libri IV]”, f. 20. Asian part from “Tabularum geographicarum contractarum libri quatuor”. Second to the last edition, substantially extended edition of Barent Langenes’ Caert-Thresoor, published then at Middelburg.

This edition is extremely rare as only “one copy known” (per Koeman in British Museum), and has no text, I.e. all maps show a blank verso – collector’s item.
