Pub Note:
Coronelli's Isolario Atlante Veneto, (1691-1692; 1696-98), in 2 volumes in 2 parts. This is the second part of volume 2. The first part of volume 2 covers the Mediterranean, Italy and the Adriatic; the second (this copy), covers Britain and Europe, Africa, Japan and Asia, and the West Indies. Each volume with engraved titles, half-titles, titles of Isolario, engraved architectural frontispieces, portraits, views, charts, text and 24 engraved maps, using the latest geographical information available. Many of the more important maps were engraved on two sheets, to allow greater detail. Coronelli's Isolario is considered to be one of the most decorative atlases of 17th century. Illustrated in Coronelli's unique style, it is a comprehensive survey of the islands of the world as known in his time, along with diagrams of various nautical weather conditions, instruments, fortresses and ship diagrams. Collation of Coronelli's atlases varies greatly; this copy is complete, but we have seen other copies with more maps and globe gores added. Coronelli, an Italian theologian, cartographer and geographer, was author or contributor to over 140 titles and produced several hundred maps, either printed separately or as parts of atlases.
