Folio (240 x 352 mm). (56), 1203 (instead of 1207, properly 1205), (1) pp. (p. 623f. blank, wants pp. 231f. & 237f.). - (Includes, as part 2:) Sanudo, Marino. Liber secretorum fidelium crucis super Terrae Sanctae recuperatione et conservatione [.] Orientalis historiae tomus secundus. Ibid., 1611. (12), 361, (3) pp. (283f. printe…d as a double-page-sized folding table). Both parts with engraved printer's device to title-page. With 3 double-page-sized folding engraved maps and 2 engraved plans as well as a woodcut printer's device at the end. Slightly later full calf, spine elaborately gilt. Only edition of this early, important source book for the history of the crusades and the Kingdom of Jerusalem and its vassal states. The second parts contains the first printing of the much sought-after 14th century maps and plans by the Genoese cartographer Pietro Vesconte, previously available in manuscript copies only. "Four of the maps from Marino Sanudo's early fourteenth-century manuscript atlas were reprinted by Johann Bongars in 1611. Sanudo's planisphere [.] is one of the few examples of medieval maps based on portolano sources in printed form. It is a circular map centered on Jerusalem with the Mediterranean relatively well defined. The ocean surrounds the whole of the known world, the outer parts of which are represented by conjecture. The authorship of Marino Sanudo is not definitely established and the original manuscript has also been attributed to Pietro Vesconte" (Shirley). - One of two title variants differing only in slight changes in the typesetting (here: "Expeditionum" begins between the "O" and the "R" of "Orientalium"). Binding somewhat rubbed, hinges starting. Rather severely browned throughout due to paper stock, some waterstaining to margins, more pronounced near the end, sometimes reaching into the printed text. Stains to first title-page; the second title and its counter-leaf *6 are printed on different paper stock. Some light worming, mainly confined to margins but also touching the text near the end; occasional edge defects. A copy in modern half vellum (severely browned, with some worming, but otherwise complete) commanded 13,000 Euros at Reiss's spring 2009 auction. - VD 17, 1:069728C. Atabey 127. Ioannou 49 (variant). Potthast I, 105. Tooley I, 162. Cf. Tobler 12. For the maps: Shirley 276 (with plate 217); Nordenskiöld 51 (with fig. 28); Laor 783 & 1145f. as well as Lex. Kart. 576 & 860f.

In-folio, [16]-1196-[76] pp. + [4]-285-[3] pp., 5 cartes gravées sur cuivre dont 3 grandes dépliantes. Plein veau, dos à nerfs aux armes de la famille de Montholon, restauration à la reliure, brunissu…res importantes par endroits, légères rousseurs aux cartes, léger pli au titre. Exemplaire complet. Provenance : reliure aux armes de la famille de Montholon ; étiquette de la librairie Dorbon-Ainé. En deux parties avec chacune son titre propre. Diplomate, érudit et collectionneur de manuscrits, Jacques Bongars (1554-1612) consacra une grande partie de sa vie à rassembler les sources de l'épopée des croisades. Le résultat de ce travail monumental parut en 1611, l'année avant sa mort : une anthologie de toutes les grandes chroniques latines de la guerre sainte, Guillaume de Tyr, Albert d'Aix, Foucher de Chartres, Jacques de Vitry, accompagnées de listes des princes, prélats et chefs militaires, et de passages relatifs aux origines et à la discipline des Templiers. La seconde partie, paginée séparément, reproduit le Liber Secretorum Fidelium Crucis du patricien vénitien Marino Sanudo Torsello (v. 1270-1343), traité rédigé pour convaincre les puissances chrétiennes de reprendre les armes pour la Terre sainte, et qui constitue l'une des analyses les plus fouillées du commerce, de la politique et de l'histoire de l'Orient latin au tournant du XIVe siècle. C'est dans cette seconde partie que se trouvent les cinq cartes gravées. La plus remarquable est une mappemonde circulaire de type portulan, centrée sur Jérusalem, que Shirley qualifie de « rare exemple de carte médiévale imprimée issue de sources portulanes » (Mapping of the World, n° 276) : il s'agit de la première reproduction imprimée connue de cette carte, jusqu'alors uniquement connue par des copies manuscrites. Son attribution fait débat, tantôt donnée à Pietro Vesconte, tantôt à Marino Sanudo lui-même, le manuscrit original ayant circulé sous les deux noms, mais sa valeur cartographique et sa rareté en font l'un des artefacts les plus recherchés de la cartographie médiévale. Les quatre autres cartes complètent un ensemble géographique d'une cohérence remarquable : une carte de la Terre Sainte divisée selon les douze tribus d'Israël, un plan de Jérusalem figurant ses édifices religieux, un plan d'Acre, dernier bastion des croisés en Orient, et une carte maritime de la Méditerranée orientale d'après les portulans italiens. First edition. One of the two title-page variants recorded by Ioannou. The world map is described by Shirley as one of the few examples of medieval cartography based on portolan sources to survive in printed form, making this volume not only the essential reference on the Crusades but one of the landmarks of the history of cartography. Atabey 127, Ioannou 49, Shirley 276. Pietro Vesconte, Marino Sanudo (illustrator).

Map. Engraving in Eli Wilner gilt frame 14 3/8 by 18". This outstanding rare engraved map of the Levant, including Cyprus, the Nile River, and Mesopotamia, is a remarkable historical artifact based on a 14th-century medieval portolan by Pietro Vesconte. The map is oriented with East at the top, following the traditional medieval… cartographic convention. In very good condition with some toning. Pietro Vesconte, (1310-1330) a Genoese cartographer, was among the earliest and most influential creators of portolan charts. His work represents some of the first attempts at accurate, empirical nautical mapping in the Mediterranean world. This map was engraved as part of a series by Jacques Bongars, (1554-1612), a notable French diplomat, classical scholar, and historian. Bongars is best remembered for his compilation "Gesta Dei per Francos," a collection of primary source documents chronicling the Crusades. His contribution to historical scholarship and cartography is reflected in these engraved maps, which merge medieval geographic knowledge with early modern engraving techniques. Bongars' adaptation of Vesconte's charts for print represents a significant moment in the transmission of medieval geographic knowledge into the early modern period. The inclusion of Cyprus, the Nile, and Mesopotamia demonstrates the wide geographical scope of medieval interest in the Eastern Mediterranean, especially in the context of Crusader routes and pilgrimage destinations. Its survival offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and artistic currents that bridged the medieval and Renaissance worlds.

Excellent. Deckled right margin, close at lower right but margins complete. A fine example with a bold strike. Size 10.25 x 7.75 Inches. This rare plan of Jerusalem is the earliest printed iteration of Pietro Vesconte's manuscript plan of the city. While not committed to print until this 1611 edition by Jacques Bongars, the map…is the work of the 14th-century Venetian cartographer Vesconte, who produced it c. 1320 to promote Marino Sanudo's proposed crusade to recapture the city. As such, it is one of the earliest surviving plans to support a specific military effort. Reading the Plan As it was bound into Bongars' work, the plan is oriented to the south (as indicated by the plate number at the upper left corner). Bongars has, however, rotated the composition ninety degrees to fit the sheet. The manuscript original is oriented to the east, and this is reflected in the orientation of Bongars' engraved text. (We have pictured the plan with its proper eastern orientation.) The plan includes not only the walled city of Jerusalem but also embraces the surrounding region as far as the village of Bethany to the east. Towns, forts, and towers are shown pictorially, and fig palms are pictured. All are rendered in the manner of Vesconte's original, 14th-century manuscript. The Basis of the Plan Vesconte's 14th-century manuscript has no clear precursor. Its sources include both the ancient descriptions of Josephus (c. 37 - c. 100) and the firsthand medieval reports of Burchard of Mount Sion (fl. late 13th century). The latter was one of the last Westerners to write about a visit to Jerusalem prior to its fall to Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil in 1291. His reports would have been of particular interest to Sanudo: Burchard, in his own turn, also proposed a new Crusade. Like Sanudo's, Burchard's plan called for a preliminary conquest to form a jumping-off point for the retaking of Jerusalem - although his initial target was not Sanudo's Egypt but the Orthodox lands of Serbia and Constantinople. A Practical Plan of Jerusalem Sanudo, Vesconte, and Burchard were all Western Christians, and their primary interest in Jerusalem and the Holy Land was its carried weight of Biblical history. Consequently, the plan includes the holy sites the proposed crusade was intended to seize. For instance, near the village of Bethany is the fig tree cursed by Jesus. At the center of the plan is the Palace and Temple of Solomon. The plan also includes the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Medieval features, such as the Church of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives, appear as well. Significantly, the plan also offers a practical focus: it details the city's walls and, emphatically, its water supply, here dramatically exaggerated. The Kidron is depicted as a huge river, nearly enclosing Jerusalem like a moat. While not based on any sort of systematic survey, the depiction of the city emphasizes a physically real city with its fortifications and neighboring villages with their own forts. Promoting a New Crusade This plan of Jerusalem was not intended for the religious edification of the armchair pilgrim, but rather as part of a practical set of suggestions in anticipation of an actual attempt to seize the city. While it would not have been of use to actual soldiers in the field, its purpose, and that of the portolan maps accompanying it, was to convince the leaders of Western Europe - Pope John XXII and King Charles IV of France - of the practicality of a new crusade. It appeared in the Venetian diplomat Marino Sanudo's Liber secretorum fidelium crucis (Book of Secrets for True Crusaders), which detailed his proposed effort to take the Holy Land for the Christian West. Publication History and Census This printed edition of the plan appeared in Jacques Bongars' 1611 Gesta Dei per Francos, sive Orientalium expeditionum, et regni Francorum Hierosolimitani historia which collected in one volume the surviving medieval texts pertaining to France's role in the crusades. As such, it.

Excellent. Some creasing at folds, else a fine example with a bold strike. Size 10.25 x 12.5 Inches. This is the earliest printed iteration of Pietro Vesconte's 1611 portolan map of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Lower Nile, the Arabian Peninsula, and Mesopotamia. While not committed to print until this 1611 edition by Jacques B…ongars, the map is the work of the 14th-century Venetian cartographer Vesconte, who produced it c. 1320 to promote Marino Sanudo's proposed crusade. As such, it is one of the earliest surviving maps to support a specific military effort. Reading the Map This printed map is a faithful copy of a 14th-century manuscript and thus pre-dates the European rediscovery of Ptolemy's Geographia . Consequently, the map lacks Ptolemy's precision, systematic scale, or conventions of orientation. The map is oriented to the east with the eastern Mediterranean, indicated with hachured waves, at the bottom just left of center. The eastern tip of the Crete appears at the base along with the archipelago, including Scarpanto and Rhodes. The map follows the coast of Asia Minor, listing the locations in the manner of a Portolan. A very large Cyprus is depicted south of Asia Minor. Note the orientation of the place names on the island, suggesting a direction of travel from east to west, as distinct from the place names elsewhere leading towards the Holy Land. Beyond Cyprus, place names along the coasts of Lebanon and Palestine are also rotated to facilitate travel. Both within the Holy Land and on the Egyptian coastlines, major cities and fortifications are shown pictorially. The Mediterranean commands the lower left corner, which abandons scale in order to place the region in a broader scope. The lower right depicts Egypt. The Nile Delta and the Mediterranean coast approaching Alexandria share the portolan-esque quality of the rest of the Mediterranean chart, but points south depict details in a much more schematic, mappamundi-like manner, showing Egypt's western fortifications as well as its castles along the Nile. The upper left describes Mesopotamia: the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the city of Babylon, and the distant lands of Assyria and Persia. The rivers reach southwards towards the Persian Gulf. The Red Sea is named, revealing a drastically minimized Arabian Peninsula featuring the Church of Saint Catherine upon Mount Sinai, a short distance from Mecca. The waters beyond - a drastically foreshortened Indian Ocean - show an array of islands whose names (Nebile, Celtales, and so on) are drawn from the Travels of Marco Polo. One of the Earliest Military Maps Despite the wild distortions of the southern and eastern portions of the map, the Mediterranean areas were, firstly, based on the best techniques of charting available in the 14th century. The purpose of the map was to convince the leaders of Western Europe - Pope John XXII and King Charles IV of France in particular - of the practicality of a new crusade to Capture the Holy Land. It appeared in the Venetian diplomat Marino Sanudo's Liber secretorum fidelium crucis (Book of Secrets for True Crusaders), which detailed his proposed effort to take the Holy Land for the Christian West. Publication History and Census This printed edition of the map appeared in Jacques Bongars' 1611 Gesta Dei per Francos, sive Orientalium expeditionum, et regni Francorum Hierosolimitani historia which collected in one volume the surviving medieval texts pertaining to France's role in the crusades. As such, it presented in print for the first time the full complement of Vesconte's maps. (The map specifically of the Holy Land, dubbed the Sanuto-Vesconte map, found its way into several of the printed editions of Ptolemy's Geographia , but the other maps such as this remained neglected.) The book, while well-represented in institutional collections, was printed in a single edition, and its maps are rare on the market. One example of the separate map is listed in OCLC. References: OCLC 87504062.
