LOC:2
$160.00Coronelli--Vincenzo17th-century-map-of-the-Bohali-fortress-at-Zakynthos--GreeceAttractive 17th-century plan of the Venetian castle fortress on the island of Zakynthos or "Zante", Greece. Set atop a hill in the Bohali region of Zakynthos, the Bohali Castle is estimated to have been built in 1480 on the site of the ancient Acropolis. During the period of Venetian rule, the Castle was the capital of Zakynthos island, destroyed and repaired several times. In 1646 the walls were completed with help from the Venetians and their presence is apparent on the main outer gate where the wall bears the emblem of the famous Venetian 'Lion of St.Mark'. <br></br> Recent archaeological excavations at the Bohali Castle have found monuments from the Byzantine period, including a church dated to the 12th century. <br></br> This scarce wood-cut map was published by father Vincenzo Coronelli from Venice, Italy ca 1686 in "Memorie istoriografiche delli regni della Morea e Negroponte…". <br></br> Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was an Italian Franciscan friar, cartographer, cosmographer and encyclopedist. Coronelli, a trained wood engraver, studied astronomy, Euclidean geometry and ancient philosophy and was named cosmographer for the Republic of Venice. He became most famous for his very large globes built in Paris from 1681-1683 at the order of King Louis XIV. His terrestrial and celestial globes measured 3.9 meters in diameter and were not equaled for more than 200 years.

The map was published from Venice in 1692 in Coronelli's atlas, the Atlante Veneto.

Goree was a trading post with some association to the Atlantic slave trade. <br></br> The Cape Verde islands were a stopping and revictualing location for numerous early explorers since their discovery by the Portugese around 1456. In 1522 the famished crew of Ferdinand Magellan's ship Victoria, numebering about two dozen, stopped at the island of Santiago on their return from their record-setting circumnavigation of the earth. A bit more that 60 years later in 1585, Sir Francis Drake attacked and burned the town of Cidade Velha on the island of Santiago. <br></br> Seller's attribution at bottom left reads "Si vende presso Domenico Padoani sul ponte di Rialto all'Insegna della Geografia."

$480.00Coronelli--VincenzoCoronelli-s-globe-gore-of-the-Arabian-Sea--India-and-Maldive-IslandsUnusual antique hand-colored <b>globe gore</b> by cartographer and Franciscan monk Vincenzo Coronelli (1650 - 1718). Originally produced for <b>Coronelli's 1688 terrestrial globe</b>. This fine engraved gore was included inset with text in his famous island book or "Isolario" published from Venice in 1696 - 1697. <br></br> Ranging from Oman, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, past the Strait of Hormuz and then trending southeast across Iran, Pakistan and the west coast of India this scarce cartographic curiosity includes the Maldive Islands ("Isole Maldive" ) and west coast of Sri Lanka. Among the many noted towns and villages in India are Mumbai ("Bombaim"), <b>Hyderabad ("Golconda")</b> , and Madurai ("Madura"). <br></br> A globe gore is a 2 dimensional representation on flat paper of a curved segment of the earth's surface. The gores are characterized by their curved top, bottom, and sides. Each gore would have been carefully cut to size and then pasted on a blank globe to produce a finished globe which would have been colored. Typically 12 gores were required to complete the 360 degree circumference of the earth at the latitudes covered by the gore. <br></br> We estimate a globe created with this gore would have had a circumference of about 11 feet. (The gore covers roughtly 30 degrees of longitude or 1/12 of the earths circumference. At the equator, this gore is 11" wide giving us 11" x 12 = 132" circumference or 11 feet.) <br></br> Text on both the recto and verso is Italian. Page 113.

The Specchio del Mare was reissued later by Coronelli in 1697 and bears a strong similarity in paper, format, and typography to Coronelli's Isolario or Island Book. Charts from the Specchio del Mare are quite scarce and a small port plan such as this in text , even more scarce. Page 15. Chain laid paper.
