Antwerp: Conatibus Geographicis Abrah Ortelii, 1572. Map. Very Good. 18.75 x 14 inches. Italy. Hand-colored engraving, extracted from Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Excerpt from atlas can be found on right side of opposite side of sheet. Decorative title plate in top center. Inscribed in pencil. Verso reads: Sicilien, 38. Marginal wear. Ortelius' maps of the islands of Sicily, Malta, Sardinia, Corfu, Elba and Zerbia. Includes a number of sailing ships, including a sinking vessel off Malta's coast, which is a reference to St. Paul's ship. Based upon maps by Lafreri and Jean Quintin., Conatibus Geographicis Abrah Ortelii, 1572, 3, Padua, c. 1790. Copper engraving, 25 x 36 cm, engraved by Pietro Scattaglia, black and white, toning to centrefold, blank verso. Published in an Italian edition of Bonne’s ‘Atlas Encyclopédique contenant la géographie ancienne, la géographie moderne et les cartes relatives à la géographie physique’, an atlas co-authored with Nicolas Desmarest, which accompanied the Padua edition of Diderot’s famous ‘Encyclopédie’. The maps (which closely follow those in Bonne’s ‘Atlas de Toutes Parties Connues du Globe Terrestre’) were engraved by Scattaglia in Venice and the whole project reflects late 18th century Italian interest in the French Enlightenment (see Edney, Pedley et al: The History of Cartography volume 4, p. 829). Map, 0, Tipografia Sociale Monzese, 1923. Softcover. Very Good. Early-century Manza, Italy commission report on the colors and design of the municipal flag. Explanatory text and four tipped-in colorful plates: existing flag, proposed flag, coat of arms and city herald costume. (See photos.) Both the existing and proposed flags feature the Moon of Monza, an ancient symbol. Explanation of the symbolic meaning according to the fourteenth-century Monzaese chronicler Bonincontro Morigia: "And yet, since the authorities of the Pope and the Emperor exist in Monza, these gave the aforementioned Land of Monza noble and symbolic insignia to be taken by the Municipality, and that is a flag of white field having a red moon in the middle, and this to mean that, as in the world there are two luminaries that preside one a day, the other at night, and that is the Sun and the Moon, so in the world two Lords must preside over spiritual things, the other over temporal things, namely the Pope at first, the Emperor at the latter." Rare. Bound in gray wrappers with rubricated title, rulings and decorative elements to front panel. Text in Italian. 25 pp. 12 1/2" x 8 3/8".
