Austriae Descrip. Wolfgangum Lazium.
Antwerp, 1606, English text edition. 350 x 485.
Fine original colour; thin paper area at centrefold visible when held up to the light, other minor marginal soiling otherwise good.
A map of Austria, the second of two plates, this one was introduced in 1595. From Ortelius's 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum', drawn by Wolfgang Lazius 1514-1565. From the rare English text edition of the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'. Marcel van den Broecke records that Skelton's estimate of a 1000 copies of this edition is probably much too high. A number of 250 seems
more likely. Compare this number with up to 7000 examples of some of the other Ortelius maps produced. Unlike others editions of the atlas this one was produced by first printing the plates in Antwerp and then adding the text in London. The text was printed by John Norton and John Bill. RARE.

The Empire of Charlemagne. Extends from Ireland to Turkey and from Russia to Portugal. Legend has it that Charlemagne made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem towards the latter end of the 10th century. That he and his warriors were endowed with great deeds of earlier kings and heroes of the Frankish Kingdom, although in some cases these feats were not chronologically correct. Charlemagne's wars in Italy, Spain and Saxony formed part of the myth and also against the Slavs. The popular belief that he was the champion of Christianity against the creed of Mohammed. In 1164 he was canonized and in parts of Europe there were festivals in his honour, although I am not sure if this continues today.
