ORTELIUS, Abraham (1527-1598). Il Theatro del Mondo, nelquale distintamente si dimonstrano in tavole tutte le provincie, regni e paesi ... ridotto dalla forma grande in questa piccola. Edited by Pietro Maria Marchetti. Brescia: Compagnia Bresciana, 1598.
8° (190 x 140mm). 109 engraved half-page maps. With blank O6. (Some mainly marginal soiling, A1 stained, A2 more lightly stained and with marginal tear, G3 repaired at bottom margin, occasional spots.) Near contemporary vellum with red morocco label, blue sprinkled edges (recased with new endpapers, one board edge worn, tiny split in spine).
Earliest edition of the Epitome of Ortelius to appear in Italy. The charming maps, copied from the first Galle editions of the Epitome, are printed on the upper part of the recto pages, with text on the lower part and on verso. ‘The main difference from the originals is that the names of the regions were engraved at the bottom, outside the frame.’ Koeman III Ort 69; Van der Krogt 33A:01; Sabin 57702 (date misprinted 1589).
