Beschreibung

Alphonsus Lasor a Varea was the nome-de-plume of Raffaello Savonarola (d. 1748), a close anagram of his name. The Universus terrarum orbis scriptorum . was a historicogeographical and religious dictionary of the world, extensively illustrated with small format illustrations. Interestingly, and remarkably, the maps, plans and prospects that appear were printed from plates engraved at least a hundred years earlier, and some even earlier. The principal sources are Tomaso Porcacchi?s Le Isole più famose del Mondo, 1572, Giovanni Antonio Magini?s edition of Ptolemy?s Geografia, 1596, Nicolo Valegio?s Raccolta di le piu illustri et famose Citta di Tutto il Mondo [ca. 1595] and Giuseppe Rosaccio?s Viaggi a Costantinopoli, 1598.
