      Ensemble 2 ouvrages reliés en 2 forts volumes grand in-4, reliures pleine truie ornées d'un décor estampé à froid sur les plats et le dos à nerfs; doublures et gardes de papier ancien crème, tranches lisses (reliures de l'époque).Cette édition originale de Italia Antiqua est illustrée de 15 cartes sur double page. Chef d'uvre du géographe hollandais Philippi Cluwer, l'ouvrage est considéré comme une des meilleures publications consacrées à la géographie de l'Italie ancienne et de ses alentours, non seulement pour la qualité de ses cartes, mais aussi pour l'érudition de ses notices qui traitent même de l'aspect toponymique et historique. On appréciera en particulier des descriptions de la Ligurie, de la Corse et du sud-est de la France (Nice, Monaco, La Turbie, etc.). C'est le seul ouvrage terminé et complet écrit par Philippi Cluwer, qui lui a demandé un an de voyage (entrepris aux frais de l'académie de Leyde).A la suite a été reliée l'édition originale de Siciliae Antiquae, illustrée de 5 cartes gravées également sur double page.La réunion de ces deux ouvrages est rarissime.
