gerard cornelis jode (32 résultats)

Etat : Fine. This truly significant map is from one of the rarest atlases ever published, Gerard and Cornelis de Jode's Speculum orbis Terrae. The work was published in Antwerp in 1593 by Arnold Coninx for the widow and heirs. This is considered the second edition, revised an expanded. The first edition was published in 1578. Van Ortroy knew of only 14 copies of the second edition being published. (Skelton, Introduction to the facsimile editions)De Jode drew upon his large stock of maps from Italian, German, and Flemish cartographers to create his atlas. He engraved some of the maps and his brothers, Joannes and Lucas van Deutecum, also contributed to the process. The second edition included additional maps from Gerard's son Cornelis. The maps have descriptive text to verso in Latin. The text for the first edition was written by the German scholar, Daniel Cellarius.The atlas contained some of the most groundbreaking maps ever published. The maps of the world, Americas, Australia, and China are of particular note and remain some of the most important maps ever published. While it may not have had commercial success at the time, it is considered a masterpiece of 16th century cartography. Very few examples of the maps have survived from either edition.Gerard de Jode (1521- 1591) was a Flemish cartographer, printer, and engraver. He produced and sold many maps in Antwerp, but his legacy lies in his outstanding atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum. De Jode was a contemporary and competitor of Abraham Ortelius. Ortelius was believed to have been responsible for delaying de Jode's work so his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum would precede de Jode's. Because Ortelius's atlas had 8 years on the market it was well established and thus de Jode's atlas did not sell very well.To compete with Ortelius, de Jode worked on the second revised and expanded edition. De Jode's wife and son, Cornelis (1568-1600) took over the publishing upon Gerard's death in 1591. Cornelis prepared ten new maps of the World, North America, China, Australia and Alaska and re-issued the atlas. "Many of de Jodeâ s maps are judged to be superior to those of Ortelius, both in detail and style." (Burden)Antwerp publisher Joan Baptista Vrients purchased the plates after Cornelis's death. He also acquired Ortelius's plates for Theatrum Orbis Terrarum to which he gave priority. It is likely he bought de Jode's plates to prevent any further editions of Speculum of course only increasing the intrigue and worth of the maps today."Although the atlas may not have appealed to the public, it was admired by other cartographers. As evidence, Petrus Montanus mentions it in the same breath with Mercatorâ s Atlas and Orteliusâ Theatrum in his preface to Pieter Kaeriusâ Germaniae inferior (Wardington Catalogue), Michael von Aitzing refers to it in his work, DeLeone Belgico (1583). Von Aitzing intended his work to act also as a supplement to both the Theatrum of Ortelius and the Speculum of De Jode."

16TH CENTURY PICTORAL MAP OF THE HOLY LAND "Descriptio et Situs Terrae Sanctae alio Nomine Palestina, Multis Preclaris Historys et Miraculis utriusque testamenti a Christo Salvatore nobilitata." [The description and location of the Holy Land also called Palestine, famed for the many illustrious histories and miracles of both Testaments by Christ the Saviour.] Copper engraving published in 1593 by Gerard and Cornelis de Jode in the "Speculum Orbis Terrarum". Coloured by a later hand. Size: 33,9 x 51,4 cm. The map shows the Holy Land oriented to the east, with its coastline from Tyrus to Gaza. The events of the Bible are depicted in words and illustrations. It locates the Twelve Tribes, the descendants of the biblical patriarch Jacob, who collectively form the Israelite nation. Gerard de Jode states in the tekst box in the lower left: Here you find, good reader, a compendious description of the entire land of promise from the book of Joshua and Ezekiel, indicating the regions, cities, mountains, and monuments worthy of being known, both old and new. The De Jode family (Gerardus, the father, and Cornelis, the son) from Antwerp, had the misfortune of attempting to compete in the atlas market with the formidable and well-connected Abraham Ortelius. The De Jodes were and are respected as mapmakers, as evidenced by this work based on then current sources, but they were no commercial match for Ortelius. They published a mere two editions of their atlas as opposed to approximately 40 by Ortelius. Hence, the considerable rarity of De Jode maps in today s market. This map of the Holy land appeared in only the second edition of De Jode s atlas, and is consequently even rarer. Price: Euro 3.750,-.

Etat : Fine. This truly significant map is from one of the rarest atlases ever published, Gerard and Cornelis de Jode's Speculum orbis Terrae. The work was published in Antwerp in 1593 by Arnold Coninx for the widow and heirs. This is considered the second edition, revised an expanded. The first edition was published in 1578. Van Ortroy knew of only 14 copies of the second edition being published. (Skelton, Introduction to the facsimile editions)De Jode drew upon his large stock of maps from Italian, German, and Flemish cartographers to create his atlas. He engraved some of the maps and his brothers, Joannes and Lucas van Deutecum, also contributed to the process. The second edition included additional maps from Gerard's son Cornelis. The maps have descriptive text to verso in Latin. The text for the first edition was written by the German scholar, Daniel Cellarius.The atlas contained some of the most groundbreaking maps ever published. The maps of the world, Americas, Australia, and China are of particular note and remain some of the most important maps ever published. While it may not have had commercial success at the time, it is considered a masterpiece of 16th century cartography. Very few examples of the maps have survived from either edition.Gerard de Jode (1521- 1591) was a Flemish cartographer, printer, and engraver. He produced and sold many maps in Antwerp, but his legacy lies in his outstanding atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum. De Jode was a contemporary and competitor of Abraham Ortelius. Ortelius was believed to have been responsible for delaying de Jode's work so his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum would precede de Jode's. Because Ortelius's atlas had 8 years on the market it was well established and thus de Jode's atlas did not sell very well.To compete with Ortelius, de Jode worked on the second revised and expanded edition. De Jode's wife and son, Cornelis (1568-1600) took over the publishing upon Gerard's death in 1591. Cornelis prepared ten new maps of the World, North America, China, Australia and Alaska and re-issued the atlas. "Many of de Jodeâ s maps are judged to be superior to those of Ortelius, both in detail and style." (Burden)Antwerp publisher Joan Baptista Vrients purchased the plates after Cornelis's death. He also acquired Ortelius's plates for Theatrum Orbis Terrarum to which he gave priority. It is likely he bought de Jode's plates to prevent any further editions of Speculum of course only increasing the intrigue and worth of the maps today."Although the atlas may not have appealed to the public, it was admired by other cartographers. As evidence, Petrus Montanus mentions it in the same breath with Mercatorâ s Atlas and Orteliusâ Theatrum in his preface to Pieter Kaeriusâ Germaniae inferior (Wardington Catalogue), Michael von Aitzing refers to it in his work, DeLeone Belgico (1583).
