Catalogue Note
This work depicts cities, ports and islands between Venice and Constantinople, as well as Cyprus and Jerusalem. It was first published in 1598. This edition was published without the text and according to Blackmer "with extra plates". However it has the same number of plates as the first edition, albeit those in the first edition were printed within the letterpress.
