Giovanni Magini (1555-1617). "Belgium seu Germania Inferior." [Netherlands]. From Ptolemy's Geographia. His Discours of Voyages. Book III.
Cologne: 1597. 5 x 6 3/4. Engraving. Some light creases and ink smudges, but very good condition.
A small map taken from a later edition of Magini's version of Ptolemy's Geographia, originally engraved by Girolamo Porro and published in Venice in 1596. The strap-work border and fine engraving make this a charming map from four hundred years ago.
