MERCATOR, G . / HONDIUS, J. - Turcicum Imperium.

Early map of Turkey, the Arabian peninsula and eastern part of the Mediterranean.
From the English edition of Mercator's Atlas Minor. This edition 1635. English text on verso.
Shortly after the publication of the big folio-atlases the need was apparently felt for a smaller-sized atlas, one that would be handier and above all, cheaper.
The Atlas Minor was larger in format than other small atlases available at the time allowing for significantly greater detail and more place names than found in its rivals.
