Very good. Minor overall toning. Blank on verso. Size 9 x 11 Inches. This is a fine 1852 map of Hispania or Spain under the Roman Empire by Joseph Meyer. It depicts the Iberian Peninsula under the Roman Empire from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, including the Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca. The Roma…n provinces of Tarraconensis, Baetica and Lusitania are identified. This highly detailed map notes several rivers, ancient towns, cities and other topography, with elevation rendered by hachure. Although the Romans controlled most of the Iberian Peninsula from about 218 BC, it took them close to two centuries to fully subjugate the region. This map was issued in Meyer's Zeitung Atlas . Although all the maps in this atlas are not individually dated, the title page and maps were often updated while the imprint with the date was not, causing confusion to the exact date for some of the maps. Moreover some maps in the atlas were taped in at a later date as an update to the atlas. We have dated the maps in this collection to the best of our ability.

Very good. A couple minor spots of discoloration in the margins. Size 21.75 x 26.25 Inches. This is a superbly engraved 1720 Henri Châtelain map of the Western Roman Empire from Châtelain's Atlas Historique . It is a rich, well-researched source that ambitiously aims to represent some 500 years of Roman history and geography. A…Closer Look The map's full title (translated to English) is: 'New Map to Serve as the History of the Western Empire from the First Roman Emperors until after the Successors of Emperor Theodosius, with Very Instructive Tables and Notes.' In other words, it represents the Roman Empire from Augustus through the division of the empire under Diocletian to the collapse of the Western Empire and the Fall of Rome, or from the 1st Century BCE through the end of the Western Empire in the 5th Century CE. Interestingly, the extensive notes are quite forthright about the near-impossibility of creating such a map given the changes in the size of the empire, placenames, and administrative divisions over the period in question, admitting that this is only an approximation most closely resembling the Western Empire in the time of Constantine I or one of his immediate successors (in the 4th Century CE). The map incorporates a grid system with capital letters for rows and lower-case letters for columns. These coordinates are used in two tables to locate provinces and cities of the Western Empire. The table at left in French shows the administrative breakdown of the Western Roman Empire, with the Prefectures of Italy and Gaul and their subordinate Dioceses or Vicariates and Provinces, with notes explaining which contemporary (to Châtelain) polities correspond to the Roman territories. The table at bottom lists the Latin names of Roman Provinces and the cities therein with their grid coordinates. Latitude and longitude are indicated, with the prime meridian off the coast of Ireland and running through Iberia and northern Africa. Considerable detail is provided about areas of Africa beyond the reach of the empire, quoting Pliny (the Elder's) Naturalis historia for descriptions of Phazania (Fezzan), Gaetulia (Berber inhabited area south of the Atlas Mountains), and so on. The map also notes the semi-mythical Fortune Islands (Fortunatas Insulas), here roughly consistent with the Canary Islands, which Ptolemy and his Medieval successors used to calculate longitude and determine a prime meridian. Finally, some portions of the Eastern Empire (such as Greece) and the tribes beyond the reach of the empire in Central and Eastern Europe are also indicated. Publication History and Census Henri Abraham Châtelain's Atlas Historique, ou Nouvelle introduction à l'histoire, à la chronologie et à la géographie ancienne et moderne was published in multiple editions between 1705 and 1720; this map appeared as Plate No. 5 in Volume 7, published in 1720. Although written in French, the atlas was published in Amsterdam as part of an even more ambitious encyclopedia project and was considered among the best Dutch atlases of its day. The Atlas Historique is well represented in OCLC, although this separate map is cataloged in only three institutional collections, the Biblioteca Nacional de España (cataloged as a 1732 edition), the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, and the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar.

Very good. Mended centerfold separation at bottom. Original outline and wash color. Size 19.25 x 23 Inches. This is the scarce 1707/10first plate of Johann Baptist Homann's map of the Holy Roman Empire, produced shortly after the 1705 elevation of Joseph I as Emperor. A Closer Look The map presents the Holy Roman Empire followin…g the 1648 Peace of Westphalia. Coverage incorporates not only the area of modern-day Germany and Austria, but also what is now the Czech Republic, the Low Countries, Switzerland, and the County of Burgundy. This is Homann's second map of the Holy Roman Empire (the first was engraved in 1690 for David Funck). The 1707 edition of Homann's atlas included this newly-engraved map, which is notably superior to the earlier Funck engraving. Cartographically, its detail is comparable, albeit changing many of the Latinized placenames to their German orthography (for example, Mähren instead of Moraviae). But the primary impetus behind Homann's new map was to honor the new Emperor: with the death of Leopold I, Joseph I succeeded to both the thrones of Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire. This is clearest in the allegorical cartouche. Joseph's portrait is presented amid a flock of putti , with his Latin motto - Amore et Timore , 'By Love and Fear' - emblazoned on a banner below; the putti bear his crown, and blow horns - a symbol of fame. Below, others of the flock attend a seated Italia turrita , a symbol of the Italian state and by extension the Holy Roman Empire. One of her putti lifts a pillow towards Joseph, bearing the two keys symbolizing his authority over the Church. In the lower left is a framed table listing the ten circles (administrative regions) of the Empire and a key to symbols and numbers used. The table is surmounted with the Imperial arms, while at its foot are two Potamoi , river gods here symbolizing the Rhine and the Danube. A Short-Lived Plate As early as 1712, this plate was replaced with another, replacing Joseph I's portrait and motto with that of his successor Charles VI; we see yet another plate with the cartouche altered to include a stylized globe beside the Italia Turrita , and still another with a 1732 date. There is no consistency between institutional listings of these maps, and no credible chronology of these latter plates. Publication History and Census This map was engraved as early as 1705, but first appeared in Homann's 1707 Neuer Atlas , the present example being from the 1710 2nd edition of that work. Given the profusion of later plates and universal confusion over their dating, it is not possible to make a definitive census; however, the four-year window within which this plate was in production makes it likely that this is a scarce imprint.
