LAET, Johannes de (1593-1649). Novus orbis, seu descriptionis Indiae occidentalis. Leiden: Elzevir, 1633.
First Edition in Latin. This edition, following on from the enlarged second edition of 1630, contains 14 maps in total, comprising a general map of the Americas and other American regional maps. The ‘Nova Anglia’ map, showing the coast and inland areas from Nova Scotia to North Carolina, is the first printed map to mention the name Manhattan, here spelled ‘Manbattes’. Many of the maps served as prototypes for later Dutch maps of the region. Borba de Moraes p. 451; Sabin 38557.

Half-title, engraved architectural title with date altered in manuscript to read ‘1688’, 14 engraved double-page maps by Hessel Gerritsz, numerous woodcut illustrations of plants, animals and inhabitants of the New World in text (browning, most maps with small marginal repair not affecting image). Contemporary calf, spine gilt with floral motifs, lettered in gilt on spine label (restored at spine ends and top edge of lower board). Provenance: ‘CDS’ stamped along top edge.
