A propos de cet article

Excellent. Some marginal soiling. Centerfold reinforced at bottom margin, not impacting image. Else fine with a bold strike and generous margins. Size 13.25 x 16.75 Inches. This is a superb example of Gerard Mercator's 1595 map of Transylvania, covering what is now central Romania, in its first edition. A Closer Look The region is defined on the map by its surrounding mountain ranges, here dramatically presented in profile: The Eastern Carpathian mountains to the northwest, and the Hargita mountains to the northeast, bordering with Ukraine (labeled Russia here.) The Southern Carpathians, also known as the Transylvanian Alps, lie to the south and east form a border between Transylvania and Wallachia. These mountains surround the Transylvanian Plateau, and it is this region whose cities are detailed in the map. Based on the pictorial depictions of the cities indicating their relative size, Alba Iulia, Cluj-Napoca (Clausenburg), Hermannstadt,(Sibiu,) and Corona (Kronstadt / Brasov) appear as the primary cities. The predominance of German city and town names throughout the map reveals Mercator's main source for the map: the Transylvanian Johannes Honter's 1532 Chorographia Transylvaniae , the first printed map of Transylvania. (surviving in a single institutional example.) Honter, an ethnically German Transylvanian Saxon, primarily used Germanic placenames in his map. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Gerard Mercator, and probably also engraved by him for inclusion in his atlas; it would not be printed until 1595 in Mercator's posthumous Atlas, sive Cosmographicæ meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura . The map continued to be printed in the Mercator/ Hondius atlas until 1623. Thereafter it was replaced with Hondius' map of the same title. While the present map is not difficult to find in later printings, this 1595 first edition is quite scarce. References: OCLC 633692064. Rumsey 10501.148 (1607) Van der Krogt, P. C.
