The double-page map of the North bound in before «Sarmacia». First edition published by Anton Koberger in July 1493 six months before a German edition. Anton Koberger was at the time the most important publisher in Germany. He also manufactured bindings for his books, and our copy might well be one of those. The book is regarded as an encyclopedia, a history book mostly seen through a medieval mind from the creation to c. 1492. Today the book is naturally admired for the more than 1800 woodcuts printed from 645 woodblocks and the two maps (the Ptolemaic World map and the map of Scandinavia by Münzer after Cusanus) illustrating the text. Specially valued are all the town views (some examples are München, Lübeck, Köln, Augsburg, Wien, Nürnberg, Salzburg, Ulm, Prag, Basel, Strassbourg and Venice), among many they are the first printed views of the cities depicted. The woodblocks were cut by Michel Wohlgemuth and his stepson William Pleydenwurff (identified in the colophon), but recent scholarship has attributed many of the woodcuts to Pleydenwurff’s young disciple (and godson of the printer Anton Koberger) Albrecht Dürer, making this Dürer‘s first illustrated book. These cuts bear a remarkably strong resemblance to his famous woodcut series “Apocalypse”. The book is of great importance to Scandinavia and specially Norway. In addition to the second printed map of the area, pages CCLXXXII-verso and next leaf-recto have an early description of the three Scandinavian countries. This must be the first printed description of Norway connected with a map and tells about a frozen part of the world. The title-page restored and re-margined, accompanied by an extra one. Some dampstaining in the register section. A few marginal tears with old repairs including one in lower margin of the world map. Some occasional browning, but in general a clean copy. The map of Scandinavia and the Northern Region is in an unusually good condition. A FINE AND TALL COPY IN A REPRESENTATIVE CONTEMPORARY BINDING. Provenance: Two collector’s stamps on the first leaf of register. One is a Royal stamp, the other says: «Dupl. F. Bibl.Reg.

(€1500) 5. (N.G. DONIS) – MARCO BENEVENTANUS “Tabula Moderna Prussie, Livonie, Norvegie, et Gottie” Copperplate engraving, 31,2x55,6cm at bottom, sheet size 40,7x56,3cm ROME 1507 – 08 A FINE COPY THE FIRST COPPERPLATE MAP OF SCANDINAVIA BASED ON THE ULM MAP. The Rome copperplate atlas 1507/1508 is a reprint of the 1478 and 1490 edition of the 27 traditional Ptolemy maps. In 1507 six new “modern” maps were added to the atlas among them the map of Northern Europe. This is the fourth map of the area, but the first printed from a copperplate and is rare. It is printed from two plates and originally joined. According to Ginsberg the map is present in some copies of the 1507 edition of “Geographia“, but was not regularly added to the atlas before the next and last edition in 1508. Cartographically the map is a close copy of the first map of Scandinavia (woodcut) compiled by N. Germanus Donis in Ulm 1482, see our entry 5. As is often the case the margins are narrowly cut with a few letters touched at right. Lower left corner cropped. Some creases and minor repairs.
