ORTELIUS, Abraham (1528-1598). Theatro del Mondo. Venice: Scipion Banca, 1667.
8° (131 x 92 mm). Half-title, title with vignette, 108 engraved maps. (D7 torn and repaired gathering I and K transposed, trimmed closely especially at inner margin.) Early 20th-century vellum. Provenance: Francesco Baranelli di Sinigaglia (early ownership signature on half-title).
Third Italian edition of a so-called “Epitome” Theatrum, the desirable "pocket" version of Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Enormously popular, this version of Ortelius's atlas was primarily used by travelers, students and others for whom the folio edition would be inconvenient. Copies were eagerly sought and usually received considerable wear. The atlas was published by varying printers and engravers through to the 18th-century. Koeman III Ort 71.
