MAP, Croatia, Jode
Est: $1,100 - $1,400
Rare Map of Croatia During Long Turkish War. Croatia. Cornelis de Jode, Croatiae, & Circumiacentiu Regionu Versus Turcam Nova Delineatio, from Speculum Orbis Terrae, 1593 (published). Black & White. This rare map is one of the earliest maps to focus on Croatia, and was issued during the Long Turkish War (1591-1606), which was fought between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire. The region is bounded by the cities of Cilli (Celje, Slovenia) in the northwest, Wyhitz (Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina) in the south, and Brot (Slavonski Brod, Coatia) in the east. The map shows Ottoman troops marching south from Gradiska to Wyhitz (Bihać), waving their flags emblazoned with a crescent. Towns that were already under Turkish control include a crescent above the miniature city icon, inlcuding Bihać, which had been captured by the Ottomans in June 1592. Other Ottoman troops converge upon Carlstat (Karlovac, Croatia). The cities of Agram (Zagreb) and Sisegg (Sisak) remain under Habsburg rule. The map is dedicated to Laevinus Torrentius, Bishop of Antwerp. Blank verso. Cornelis de Jode (1568-1600) was the son of the mapmaker and publisher Gerard de Jode. The elder published several important maps, including Ortelius' famous 8-sheet map of the world in 1564. His major atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum was a commercial failure because his rival, Abraham Ortelius, was able to obtain a monopoly for eight years at the same time De Jode was preparing the publication. After Gerard's death, his widow and son enlarged the atlas and re-issued it in 1593. On the death of Cornelis, the copper plates were sold to J. B. Vrients, who acquired them merely to stop their re-issue, as he had also acquired the Ortelius plates. De Jode maps are rarely offered on the market. While the atlas did not have much commercial success, de Jode's maps are often regarded as superior in both design and cartographic detail to his more successful competitor, Abraham Ortelius. LITERATURE: Van der Krogt (Vol. III) #2740:32B.

MAP, France, Jode
Est: $950 - $1,200
Rare Map of France. France. Cornelis de Jode, Galliae Amplissimi Regni Tabula, from Speculum Orbis Terrae, 1593 (published). Hand Color. This rare map of France appeared only in the second edition of the Speculum Orbis Terrae. The map focuses on France but covers a wider region including southern England, Holland as far north as Amsterdam, Switzerland and northern Italy. The large strapwork title cartouche is adorned with fruit and ribbons, and two sailing ships decorate the oceans. Latin text on verso.

De Jode Map of the Middle East
Est: $8,000 - $15,000
DE JODE, Cornelis (1568-1600). Secundae Partis Asiae... Engraved map. Antwerp, 1578. 15 3/8" x 21 1/2" sheet. Rare first edition of De Jode's map of Arabia and southern Persia after Gastaldi. De Jode's delineation of Arabia is superior to that of his rival, Abraham Ortelius. Latin text on verso. In 1578 Gerard de Jode published his atlas Speculum Orbis Terrarum, created to compete with the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum published in 1570 by Abraham Ortelius. Both examples serve as the earliest modern atlases of the World. Published eight years after the Theatrum, however, de Jode's example could not compete with the sales its predecessor. Only about a dozen examples of his Speculum have survived, making the maps within this 1578 edition especially rare. De Jode's son Cornelis published another version of the atlas in 1593, titled Speculum Orbis Terrae. It too did not have high records of sales, and it was never reissued. Despite the fact that Ortelius' atlases sold more copies, many of de Jode's maps are seen as superior to those of his competition, both in terms of detail and style. In this example, the many regions of the Middle East are portrayed in fine detail. Saudi Arabia is fairly central to the map, with the Nile, Northern Africa, Cairo and part of Ethiopia to the left. The map also spans to show part of modern day Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran (formerly known as Persia), Pakistan and the western portion of India. Towards the top of Arabia we see the countries of Israel and Lebanon. In the lower portion is Sudan and Somalia. The map has many fine details. We see the prominent placement of a compass rose and a title cartouche. The cartouche is simple and elegant, possessing an almost architectural quality. Also included are geographical elements such as rivers, seas and oceans, and hills.

De Jode Map of Alaska, 1593
Est: $18,000 - $25,000
[Map, Alaska, Pacific] CAAMANO, Jacinto (1759-1825). Manuscript Chart of Bucareli Sound, Alaska (Scale in Nautical Miles). Ink on paper. Spain, c. 1792. 21 1/2" x 17 3/4" sheet, 31" x 28" framed. A RARE EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY SPANISH MANUSCRIPT OF ALASKA. This fascinating Northwestern Pacific chart showing Bucareli Sound, Alaska, was probably prepared on Jacinto Caamano's return to Europe in 1792, after his journey of exploration to the Americas. Caamano's voyage was the first on behalf of the Spanish crown to examine the Northwest coast of America north of 53 degrees, near Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia. It was here in 1787 that James Colnett, an Englishman, reported to have discovered the Strait of Bartholemew Fonte, believed to provide a deep water passage between the Pacific and Hudson's Bay. Fearful of losing ground to the English and French in the lucrative field of American colonization, the Spanish government hoped that Caamano's voyage to the New World would result in the discovery of the fabled passage to the Orient and thereby revive Spain's international commercial predominance.

Est: $20,000 - $25,000
DE JODE, Cornelis (1568-1600). Hemispherium ab aequinoctiali linea, ad circulum poli arctici [and] poli antarctici. [Antwerp: de Jode, c.1593.] A rare and beautiful twin hemispheric map of the North and South Poles, in an elaborate surround of clouds and wind-heads. It is one of two new world maps which appeared in the 1593 edition of the Speculum orbis terrarrum. However this example is a rare variant with blank verso. Some have speculated this was separately issued as early as 1590, but another likely date is c.1600, after the plates were acquired by J.B. Vrients. The polar projection in two hemispheres is a highly unusual and attractive form. California is named. Shirley 184. Engraved map, plate 328 x 517mm, sheet 403 x 520mm (a little expert repair near folds, trimmed to neatline at upper right corner). Float-mounted, matted and framed.

Hemispheriu ab Aequinoctiali Linea, ad Circulu Poli Arctici ad Circuli Poli Antarctici (from Speculum Orbis)
Est: $40,000 - $50,000
Gerard & Cornelis de Jode. Copperplate engraved map. Antwerp, c. 1593. 16 7/8 x 22 3/8 inches, 27 1/4 x 33 1/2 inches Framed. Rare Twin-Hemispherical Polar Projection of the World - Reminder of the Commercial Rivalry that existed between the Elder de Jode & Abraham Ortelius. This unusual map appeared in Cornelis de Jode's 1593 edition of the Speculum, an atlas initiated by his father, Gerard, in 1578. Although Cornelis's world map did not use the cordiform projection preferred by his father, it did employ a similar border scheme of windheads and clouds. Gerard de Jode was a contemporary - and rival - of Abraham Ortelius. The publication of his original Speculum was subjected to repeated delays in the granting of the royal privilege probably instigated by Ortelius himself, who may have used his important connections to ensure that his Theatrum was launched well before de Jode's atlas.

Americae pars Borealis, Florida, Bacalaos, Canada, Corterealis.
Est: $30,000 - $40,000
Cornelis de Jode. Engraved map with splendid original hand-color in full. Antwerp, 1593. 16 x 21 inches, 27 x 32 1/2 inches framed. The only edition of De Jode's rare map of North America, clearly showing the Northwest Passage & Florida. Born in Nijmegen in 1509, Cornelis de Jode was a cartographer, engraver, printer and publisher based in Antwerp, then one of the major commercial capitals of Europe. Little is known of his early training or education, and it was not until well into his 30s, in 1547, that de Jode was admitted to the Guild of St. Luke and became a print seller. In 1550 he was licensed as a printer. He printed Jacopo Gastaldi's map of the world in 1555, Jacob van Deventer's map of Brabant in 1558, maps by Bartholomeus Musinus, Fernando Alvares Seco, and (before they became competitors) Abraham Ortelius's eight-sheet map of the world (1564).

Cornelis De Jode, Quivirae Regnu, Cum Alijs Versus Borea?.
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
DE JODE, Cornelis (1568-1600). Quivirae Regnu, Cum Alijs Versus Borea? Antwerp: Arnold Coninx for Fornelis De Jode, 1593. Full page engraved map with original hand color. Sheet size: 17 1/2 x 11 1/2 inches. Framed size: 29 x 22 3/4 inches. This is the first printed map to show the area of Alaska, and a landmark in the mapping of the American north-west and California. Although printed on a separate sheet in the atlas, this map was intended to be contiguous with de Jode's map of North America to complete the coverage of Morth America in its entirety. This map reaches to the northwestern part of the American continent to the Strait of Anian, which divides North America from Asia. De Jode has adroitly placed two text cartouches to fill the space in the interior as a device to hide his lack of geographical knowledge, but the vignettes of Tartar-style figures and buildings, and accompanying text, reflect the contemporary view that the region was populated by migration from Asia. At the top of the map are four legendary islands believed to encircle the North Pole, and a strait running across the north of North America, apparently forming a navigable channel from Europe to Asia, the famous North-West Passage. Highly decorated with sea monsters and galleons, this map is appealing for both its beauty and its historical significance. Retail Price: $55,000
