Catalogue Note
In this edition the maps are copied from those first published as separate parts in 1648, 1652, 1656 and 1657. Pastoureau notes that this "édition Hollandaise" was published in Utrecht, probably by François Halma who was responsible also for the Utrecht and Amsterdam editions in 1692, 1699, 1700 and 1710.
