Croatia - Dalmatia

Iadera, Sicum et Aenona vulgo Zara, Sibenico et Nona cum insulis adjacentibus in parte Dalmatiae Boreali. (1657) Large folio sized rare 17th century map of part of the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia, centered on Zara, which appeared in Volume 5 of Jansson's Atlas Novus, under the separate title Atlas Maritimus. The map provides a high detailed treatment of the the Dalmatian Coastline, along with a fine decorative cartouche, coats of arms, scale of miles, sailing ships, sea monsters, compass rose and rhumb lines. Jansson's Sea Atlas was the first of the mid-17th Century Dutch Sea Atlases and was followed shortly thereafter by separate atlases of sea charts by Jacobsz, Lootsman, Theunisz, Goos, Doncker, Van Keulen and a number of other specialty Dutch chart makers in the second half of the 17th Century. Because of the importance and expense associated with Jansson's later atlases, the maps from the Atlas Maritimus are relatively scarce on the market and are highly collected as the first obtainable Dutch Sea Charts of many regions around the world. Published in 1657 in Amsterdam by J. Janssonius in ´Atlantis maioris quinta pars, orbem maritimum... editio novissima. Amstelodami: apud Ioannem Ianssonium, 1657´ Very good condition, some minor repairs in the margins, not affecting the image. Clear print, strong paper. Reverse side text in Latin. Image 42x53cm, sheet 51,5x60cm
