Good. Mended centerfold split with slight loss, few manuscript marks, else very good. Size 11 x 13.5 Inches. This is a rare 1575 François de Belleforest map of ancient Rome 'when she was in full flower.' The map is oriented to the southwest, and depicts the walled city set upon its famous hills. It names the principal gates to the city, and marks the location of the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the baths of Diocletian, Constantine, Antony, and Nero. While all roads lead to Rome, the map names but a few: The Appian Way, the Flaminian Way, and the Aurelian Way. The Great French Translation of Cosmographia This woodcut appeared in Belleforest's translation of Münster's Cosmography . Münster's publisher, Heinric Petri, produced a French edition of the book in 1552 and a further French edition appeared in 1568. Nonetheless, Belleforest, a prolific writer, historian, and accomplished translator, appears to have been unsatisfied with it. His own edition, produced in 1575, went beyond translation, introducing numerous corrections to the text where Münster omitted details or made mistakes. He also added many new woodcuts to illustrate the work. Some of these replaced Münster's original maps with new ones based on more up-to-date geographic sources, such as Ortelius, and Braun and Hogenberg. These are often more desirable than the originals upon which they are based, due both to their rarity as well as their beauty. The present map copies an original excecuted by formschneider Heinrich Holzmüller for inclusion in the expanded 1550 edition of Münster's Cosmographia , and which would remain in that work as late as 1598. Belleforest's version is a faithful copy, but is easily distinguished by the absence of Holzmüller's monogram in the lower left. Publication History and Census This map was produced for inclusion in Belleforest's 1575 La Cosmographie Universelle , which was published in a single edition. About twenty examples of the book are listed in institutional collections. Only one example of this Belleforest edition of the separate map appears in OCLC, in the collection of the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana. References: OCLC 864350502.…
