Title: Descrittione Di Tutta La Toscana Fatta Da. M. Hier:mo Bell'Armato . . . MDLXIII

Map Maker: Paolo Forlani /  Ferando Bertelli

Description:

 Fine example of Girolamo Bell'Armato's important early map of Tuscany, published in Venice by Bertelli and Forlani.

Bell'Armato's map, first published in 1536, is the earliest printed map of Tuscany.    Born in Siena in 1493, Bell'Armato's 4 sheet map of Tuscany was a cartographic milestone.

Known in only a single example, Bell'Armato's work now survives primarily in the single sheet version of the map published by Bertelli and Forlani
