FÜRST, Paul (c.1605-1666). [Nova et integra orbis descriptio. Nuremberg: c.1660].

An extremely rare set of half-gores for a 6½-inch diameter globe. These gores, forming the eastern hemisphere, are reissues of those produced by Joannes Oterschaden in about 1603 (see Shirley World 237). Based on the globes produced by Demongenet, c.1560, and Vopel, c.1536, their geography was almost a century out of date by the time Fürst published them. Fürst, a Nuremberg-based publisher and printseller, must have seen a market for these type of reissues, since he also republished other globe gores and planispheres, including of Isaac Habrecht II which were first published in the 1620s. See Shirley World 237.

A set of 6 engraved gores, on one sheet (339 x 318mm), numbered 1-6 to left-hand side of corresponding gore, the gores showing the eastern hemipshere of a terrestrial globe with a diameter of 16.4cm (6½ in.), three ships and three sea monsters decorating the southern oceans.
