Title: Fori Iulii Accurata Descriptio Map Maker: Abraham Ortelius
Description: Gorgeous full color example of Ortelius' map of the the northern tip of the Adriatic, from Venice to Fiadona, from the 1587 French edition of his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world. The map shows a marvelous detailed plan of Venice and extends to east of Istria and north into the Maritime Alps. A nice full color example with wide margins. Based upon a manuscript map by Johannes Sambucus sent to Ortelius shortly before 1573, itself based on an anonymous Venetian map of Friuli from the 1560's. References: Van Den Broeck 119.
