de Jode, Cornelis: Primae partis Asiae acurata delineatio...
Antwerpen, 1593.
A copperplate map of the region from the Black Sea and the Mediterranean to Central Asia by Gerard de Jode, published in the second edition of his atlas, “Speculum Orbis Terrae”. The cartography is based on Giacomo Gastaldi’s 1561 two-page work, “La Descrittione Della Prima Parte Dell’Asia...”. The map shows Anatolia, Cyprus, the Holy Land, and the territories of modern-day Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Its nomenclature is detailed, considering the possibilities of the time, and cartographic shortcomings were attempted to be addressed through illustrations, relief elements, and the use of larger fonts. The engravers, Jan and Lucas van Deutecum, illustrated the sheet with a finely decorated cartouche and a compass rose, on the back of which is a Latin text.
Dimensions: 300 x 505 (370 x 535) mm. There is a paper strip on the back along the centrefold, a few stains in the middle of the upper part, and a repaired tear above it outside the map field. The clean, strong print has some thin, light stripes in certain areas due to paper creasing during printing.
van der Krogt III.: 8200:32., Koeman II.: Jod2 8.
