IV: Of the world map in two parts by Blaeu from 1604 (map 3A in this work), only the left part is included in facsimile (3A.1). This is a reprint of the left part of this world map that is present in the UB Erlangen-Nürnberg. To date, no copy of the right part of the original 1604 Blaeu edition of this world map is known. Map 3A.2 is therefore not missing in this edition. It has never been included in this edition.
