ABRAHAM ORTELIUS Barbariae et Biledulgerid, nova Descriptio
Antwerp, 1580, Limited. 32,6x49,6 Cm. Mapa muy detallado del norte de Africa desde Marruecos a Libia. Koeman especuló: “n view of the important trading relationship between Antwerp and Africa, it is not impossible that the original was a manuscript map of Portuguese or Venetian origin. In this map, Ortelius gives a number or details found on no other printed map of the period. Se detalla especialmente el desierto del Sahara. Están presentes un número importante de grandes lagos y sistemas fluviales que conectan con los oasis saharianos, situados en Algeria, en la meseta del Tademait. En el reverso, descripción en latín. Referencia por Broecke, Ortelius 176. Coloured, very attractive. Detailed early map of North Africa showing the regions from present-day Morocco to Lybia. Includes much detail of the present day Sahara desert. Numerous large lakes and river systems are shown lower center correlating quite closely with many of the Saharan oases of present-day central and southern Algeria around the Tademait Plateau.
