 1616 Bertius Map - Descriptio Arcis Brittaniae in Hollandia

Petrus Bertius was a professor of mathematics and librarian at Leyden University in Holland but is known for his miniature world atlas 'Tabularum geographicarum contractarum' which contained two different sets of maps. The first in 1598 to 1606 was engraved by Pieter Van den Keere with some by Joducus Hondius while the second group in 1616 was by Hondius alone.   Described as "the most numerous and finest set of miniature maps ever printed" by Geoffrey King (Miniature Antique Maps), pp. 96 - 97, the maps engraved by Jodocus Hondius Jnr for the second Latin edition of 'Tabularum geographicarum contractarum..' are much sought after by collectors. This map is from that set.   This map of the fortress of Brittenburgum supposedly showed the evidence of settlement by ancient Britons and Romans near the mouth of the old Rhine river near Catwyk in Holland. This elaborate plan would appear to be fiction since no modern evidence has been found for such a settlement. Nonetheless this is a splendid map and a worthy addition to any collection of such fallacies.   The map measures 5" by 3.5", has wash hand colouring, and is in very good condition with some textual showthrough.   The map is guaranteed to be over 400 years old.
