Valeur estimée
£ 50 000 – 80 000
Pars prima [-altera] speculum nauticum super navigatione maris occidentalis confectum, continens omnes oras maritimas Galliae, Hispaniae et praecipuarum partium Angliae. Leiden: Franciscus Raphelengius for Lucas Jansenius Aurigarius, 1586.
Extremely rare first Latin edition of the first printed pilot book to incorporate sea charts. ‘This work holds a unique place among the printed rutters of the sea in the 16th century because it is the first printed rutter with charts... Thanks to the unparalleled skill of the engravers ... the original ms. charts by Waghenaer were transformed into the most beautiful maps of the period’ (Koeman). The first great demand for Waghenaer's charts necessitated the translation of the work and publication of foreign pilots, the first of which was this Latin edition, translated by Martin Everaerts of Bruges. The excellence of this atlas was such that all other published charts of the coasts of Europe were based on it for at least a century, and all such later collections of sea charts were called after the author wagheners or waggoners or (in French) chartiers. The engraved charts are by Baptist and Johannes van Doetecum after Waghenaer, and are all in Koeman's state b, with numeration, excepting the double-page chart of Europe 'Universe Europae maritime', which is in state 1A (New Hollstein numbers available upon request). This map is extremely interesting, being in the rare first state with Iceland shown almost as a circular shape (New Hollstein 794/II). The second chart appears to be an unrecorded variant of New Holstein 795/III with state III additions of West before Vrieslandt and Occidentalis behind Frisia, but with coat-of arms with single lion rampant as per state II. All editions of Waghenaer's atlas are very scarce. Adams W-1; Cox II, p. 384; Koeman IV, Wag 5A-B; Nordenskiöld 298; The World Encompassed 181.
