JANSSONIUS, Joannes (1588-1664). Nouveau Theatre du Monde ou Nouvel Atlas comprenant les tables et descriptions de toutes les regions de la terre. Amsterdam: Jan Jansson, 1641-39-41.
3 volumes (490 x 310mm). Three hand-coloured engraved titles, titles to vols I and II heightened in gold, woodcut illustrations and tailpieces, 319 double-page engraved maps, hand-coloured in outline, a few with cartouches heightened in gold. (Light discolouration and browning particularly to margins, some offsetting, title to vol III and index leaf of vol II restored, several other leaves with margins strengthened, occassional clean tears, some repaired.) 18th-century Italian mottled vellum, (corners rubbed)
A rare set of the 3 volume French edition of Jansson's Atlas Novus. The set collates as follows; vol I, Koeman II Me97B, 109 maps: vol II, a variant of 92B with 98 rather than 99 maps, and with the title and address not on overslips, probably an intermediate state between 92A and 92B: vol III, 112 maps, a variant of Me 39B with the date on the title altered to 1641.
