No binding. Condition: Near fine. First. ONE OF SIX KNOWN EXAMPLES OF OLGIATO'S COMPLETE 1570 MAP OF ASIA. [Venice:] Girolamo Olgiato, 1570. Four-part engraved map on eight sheets, joined in pairs. [Full measurements available.] Each part framed (each ca. 32 1/2" x 41 5/8") floating and glazed. Gazetteers mounted in mylar to the reverse of the first and second parts. A little soiling to the margins of each section. Signs of damp-stain to the left-hand portion of the fourth part, only affecting the water. Some slight marginal losses to the gazetteers. Giacomo Gastaldi (or Giacopo; ca. 1500-1566) worked as an engineer in Venice before turning his attentions to mapmaking from the 1540's; his 1548 pocket-size edition of Ptolemy's Geografia has been called by Philip Burden "the most comprehensive atlas" produced between the 1513 Strasbourg Ptolemy and Ortelius' Theatrum in 1570. In 1550, Gastaldi obtained from the Venetian Senate a privilege (a copyright, more or less) to print a map of Asia; the earliest known example of the first part of this work -- conceived in three parts -- was published in 1559 (Il disegno della prima parte dell'Asia). It was reproduced in 1561 by Antonio Lafreri (engraved by Jacob Bos). The second part of Gastaldi's map appeared in 1561 and the third in 1562; a fourth part (a slim addition, representing less than 20° of latitude, whereas the third part shows over 50°) was issued ca. 1568 by Paolo Forlani and Ferrando Bertelli. Following the piece-meal production of the Gastaldi-Lafreri-Forlani-Bertelli maps over nine years, Girolamo Olgiato (Olgiati, active 1567-1570), issued the present four-part map in 1570 (though the date appears only on the second part). The map was issued in eight sheets (see the example at the Alessandrina, reproduced in Bifolco-Ronca), in the present example each quadrant is joined horizontally. Bifolco-Ronca notes "i quatro fogli non sono pensati per essere uniti," that is, they could not be joined into a single map. Indeed, even the joins of each quadrant are generally imperfect, although close enough to be considered intentional. The gazetteers -- often missing -- show both the debt to Gastaldi (his name is not removed) and the holistic conception of the work: two quite similarly-formatted works, one for the first part and one for the second and third jointly. Each specifies the means of locating each place by crossing two strings at the given latitude and longitude. These were issued in two forms, letter-press and engraved, Karrow noting that the latter (as in our example) is rarer; indeed, Karrow does not know the engraved gazetteer of the second and third parts as we have. Gastaldi's maps -- each free-standing-- were far and away the most complete account of Asia; it was not until Olgiato's 1570 edition that the whole project was unified into a single work (although the first and second parts could not in fact be joined; the third and fourth parts also overlap). Bifolco-Ronca in their 2018 Cartografia e topografia italiana del XVI secolo (vol. I, tav. 75) count in a census 5 examples complete with the gazetteers: in the privately-held "Atlante Aragona," at the National Library in Budapest, at the Newberry Library in Chicago, at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and at the Biblioteca Universitaria Alessandrina in Rome. They also mention the present example, which was sold at Sotheby's London 14 December 2000 -- but, crucially, offered as three separate lots: 245 (.seconda parte), 298 (.prima parte) and 330 (.terza parte and fourth part). The consignor(s) is (are) undesignated, and so it cannot be said definitively whether the four parts are married, but given the extreme rarity of the map, they have likely traveled together since their production.

480 x 740 mm. Stored in a custom-made green half morocco case. A fine example of Giacomo Gastaldi's map of Southeast Asia, China, and India, perhaps the single most influential map of the region published in the 16th century. - Gastaldi's map has a remarkable history, one that presents a microcosm of Italian mapmaking in the middle of the 16th century. It begins with the publication of a single section in 1559, which was intended as a separate map. Additional sections were added in 1561, creating the portion of the existing map which extends south to the Equator. In 1565, two additional sections were added, in order to show all of Indonesia and the neighbouring islands as far south as Java Minor. - "In its original form the map extended only to the equator, so that most of the Indonesian islands were not included. To remedy this, in about 1565, two narrow sheets were made by the great Italian engraver Paolo Forlani to supplement the main body of Gastaldi's map [.] This lower addition bears an inscription in the lower left corner which reads 'si vende.' [.] indicating the location of the shop of the publisher Bertelli" (Suarez). - Of all of Gastaldi's Asian continental maps, this one more than any other "had a major influence on the work of Ortelius and de Jode [.] In their representation of the coastlines his maps are superior to all previously known maps of Asia, either drawn by hand or printed" (Schilder, in: The Map Collector 17, p. 7). - On the right-hand side of the map, Gastaldi provides a list of about 100 place names on the map, showing both their ancient and modern names. In his excellent study of Gastaldi's maps of Asia and their relationship to the accounts of Marco Polo's travels, Nordinskold notes that while Gastaldi has clearly incorporated information from Marco Polo's travels, Gastaldi relied also upon the accounts of other contemporary travelers to the East. Most notably, the dedication to Marcus Fugger (1529-97) is strong evidence that Gastaldi had access to the Fugger family library, one of the most important libraries compiled in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the 16th century, the Fugger Library was perhaps the best private library in the world, surpassing even the Vatican Library. - Nordinskold goes on to note: "Finally, it must be remembered that Gastaldi, under the guidance of Ramusio, is supposed to have aided in repairing or repainting the famous wall-maps in Sala dello scudo in Venice [.] If such was the case, it may be considered probable that the monumental maps of Africa and Asia by Gastaldi have had some connection to [Gastaldi's map of Asia], that these copper-plate engravings are a reproduction of the originals of the wall maps in that form which was given them in the middle of the 16th century". Quirino notes that Gastaldi's map is the first appearance of the name "Philippines" ("Philippina") on a printed document. - The map is rare on the market. We note no examples of this first edition of the map on at auction or in recorded dealer catalogs in at least 15 years. - Tooley, Italian Atlases 63. Karrow 30/92 (note). Woodward, Forlani 36 (note).
