Catalogue Note
Corrected Dutch edition of this magnificent sea atlas, dedicated to the Dutch East India Company. Of the six maps appearing here for the first time, the most significant is the world map by Edmund Halley, which contains isogones illustrating his discoveries concerning gravitational forces. The other maps appearing here first are another world map, Arctic and Antarctic projections, and a map of the postal routes of Europe.
Since Reinier and Josua Ottens improved nearly all the plates by adding place names and altering coast lines, shoals, and soundings, Renard's name has been effaced from all the maps, and the text has been rewritten.
