Map orientated with north facing to the right. Some very minor traces of spotting near edges. Signs of foxing in top right corner of map. Minor chip and tear near lower left corner of… sheet. Centre fold as issued. Latin text on reverse. [Koeman II, 6300, "Parte septentrional do Reyno de Portugal". By N. Sanson with P. Mariette, 1678; onde Coll. P. 104]. Border with longitudinal and latitudinal information. A richly detailed and very interesting map showing the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves. Relief shown pictorially with rivers, mountains and major and minor settlements depicted through keys. The kingdoms of the Algarves and Portugal are delineated - as are other internal political sub-divisions. The major urban centres are highlighted with red colouring. In the lower part of the map a decorative title cartouche is accompanied by two elaborately dressed scholars performing navigational exercises with their sextant and cross-staff: their gazes directed to the armillary sphere. Another cartouche encases a dual scale. Off the coast 4 naval vessels are pictured, illustrating the rich maritime history and naval power of Portugal. Amid the ships a trident-wielding Neptune is depicted astride a Renaissance-style dolphin. The coat-of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves are pictured in the map's top right and left corners respectively. Two ornamental orientation keys can also be seen just off the coast. Fernando Alvares Seco (c.1561-85) was a Portuguese mathematician and cartographer who made the first known map of Portugal. It was engraved by Sebastiano del Re and published in Rome in 1561. Abraham Ortelius (1527-98) later reprinted the map in his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theater of the world), which was first published in May 1570. (World Digital Library).

Add to basketauch geistlichem vnd weltlichem Regiment, des Mechtigen Könige in Ethiopien : den wir Priester Johan nennen, wie solches durch die Kron Portugal mit besondern vleis erfündiget worden. beschrieben durch Herrn Franciscum Aluares, so derhalben sechs Jahr lang an gedachts Priester Johans Hoffe verharren müssen ; aus der Portugallisc…hen vnd Italianischen Sprache in das Deutsche gebracht, vnd zuuorn nie im Druck ausgangen. Gedruckt zü Eissleb? : Durch M. Joachim Heller, 1566. Folio, bound in ornately tooled modern calf with brass clasps; all edges stained red; pp [x], 444 [i.e. 436]; title with a couple of closed tears and repairs at edges; pale damp stain at upper outer corner of approximately first and last 40 leaves; illustrated with the important woodcut diagram of the Southern Cross constellation; plan of the Church of Golgotha; plan of the Church of Saint Salvator; plan of the Church of Our Lady; plan of the Church of St. Emanuel; elevations of the Church of St. Emanuel; plan of the Church of St. George; map of Africa from the Mediterranean to the Tropic of Capricorn; decorative initials and tail-pieces. The first edition in German of this important Renaissance travel work. Father Francisco Alvares' account of the Portuguese embassy to Ethiopia between 1520 and 1527 remained the most detailed and reliable source of information on that region of Africa for over a century. Part of Alvares' work was originally published in Portuguese, in Lisbon in 1540, as Verdadera informaçam das terras do Preste Ioam; thefirst separate French edition, Historiale description de l'Ethiopie ., was published in Antwerp in 1558. Significantly, the German edition (like the French edition of 1558) also contains copies of letters from Helena, Queen of Abyssinia, to Manuel I of Portugal; Negus David II of Ethiopia to King John I of Portugal; and from the Italian explorer, Andrea Corsali, to his Florentine patron, Giuliano de Medici. The inclusion of the two letters of Andrea Corsali is due to the fact that the explorer had spent the last period of his life in Ethiopia. In 1514-1515 he had travelled on board a Portuguese merchant ship on a voyage that made its way around Africa, across the Indian Ocean to Goa, then on to Cochin and the East Indies. Corsali was the first Westerner to identify the Southern Cross, and his description and illustration of this constellation (reproduced on page 6 in the present work), which he had carefully observed while crossing the Indian Ocean, were originally published in his Lettera (Florence, 1516). The letter is dated January 6, 1515 and was sent to his patron, Giuliano de Medici, from Cochin in India. Only three known copies of the 1516 edition survive; a second edition was printed in 1517, also an extreme rarity. The cruciform analogy used by Corsali to describe the constellation was adopted by navigators very early on, and by the early seventeenth century the terminology had become fixed in the various languages of the European maritime powers. Corsali was the first European to identify the island of New Guinea, and the first letter also contains references to this discovery. Corsali also postulates the existence of a continent to the south of New Guinea, a highly significant early allusion to Terra Australis. The second of Corsali's two letters, dated September 18, 1517, was sent to the Medicis from the Red Sea. Along with the 1558 French edition of Alvares, the German edition of 1566 remains the most realistically obtainable of the earliest editions to include Corsali's Lettera and diagram of the Southern Cross. No copy recorded in Australian collections.
