MERULA, P. - Totius Orbis Cogniti Universalis descriptio.

The engraver Jan van Doetecum has copied this world map from the double-hemispherical one engraved by his father Baptista for Petrus Plancius in 1590. There are four new corner insets in oval frames. These are of the islands of Japan, St.Helena, Iceland and Ceylon. With two hemisphere celestial charts, centred on the North and South Poles.
Very rare.
