Nice example of this important historical atlas, which was first published in 1624 by Philipp Cl ver, a geographer from Gdansk who spent much of his life in Leiden. Cl ver was known for his love of travel and geography, and this atlas reflects his deep interest in these areas. This edition, published by Jan Wolters, is based on that originally issued by Johannis Bunonis (Wolfenbuttel, 1661) and includes additions by Hekelii and Reiskii.This atlas contains a range of detailed maps covering different parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, Asia Minor, the Holy Land, and the Americas. One of the key features is a double hemisphere map of the world, showing how people of that time viewed the world's geography.Cluver's work was widely respected and used for a long time, as shown by the multiple times it was reprinted after its first publication. The atlas is not just a collection of maps; it represents the knowledge and understanding of historical geography in the 17th century.The American-related maps are:Typus Orbis Terrarum. Double hemisphere world mapAmerica. Shows both North and South America. California as an island, with a flat northern coast. Straight of Anian.In sum, the Cl ver atlas contains a beautiful suite of maps, all nicely engraved, in a handsome compact quarto format.…
