Show morePhillipe Buache (1700-1773) was one of the most prominent geographers of the 18th century at a time Paris was a center for cartography. He was the preeminent student of the French cartographer Guillaume de l'Isle (16751726) and went on to marry his daughter and inherit his workshop upon De l'Isles death. Buache was known for his theoretical work in physical geography. He published a number of major works including "Considérations géographiques et physiques sur les découvertes nouvelles dans la grande mer" (1754), "Le parallèle des fleuves des quatre parties du monde pour servir a déterminer la hauteur des montagnes" (1757), "Mémoire sur la traversée de la mer glaciale arctique" (1759), "Considérations géographiques sur les terres australes et antarctiques" (1761). This map was based upon a presentation to the Academie de Sciences in 1744 though it was published some ten years later. Buache was significant for formulating a theory about the importance of watersheds in physical geography. This map is an illustration of that theory. Note the systems of mountain ranges forming basins that the rivers flow out of and into the ocean. The map is indicative of a careful scientific mind, note for exapmle that the continent of Australia is only delineated according to the latest discoveries and left in an unfinished state. The Paris Meridian is demarcated on the map though it uses the earlier Ferro meridian as its prime meridian.This map was engraved by F. Desbruslins in 1757. dréssée et présentée à l'Acad. le 5 septbre. 1744 par Ph. Buache ; gravé par Desbruslins, Pere. 1757.

Show moreThis map by Jan Huygen van Linschoten is representative of different school of cartpgraphy dating from the end of the 16th century. He used details brought back by numerous voyagers to compile information on the entire region. The shape of the Arabian Peninsula, including the whole of Arabia, is far more accurate than of earlier maps. Julfaf (now called Ras al Khaimah) is indicated for the first time. The arrowhead-shaped Qatar peninsula, called catura, can be clearly distinguished. It is located in the midst of an oyster-bed represented by small pearl-dots. [Jan Huygen van Linschoten, Henricus F. ab Langren]. Relief shown pictorially. From the author's Itinerario, voyage ofte schipvaert van Jan Huygen van Linschoten naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien.

Uyt het italiaens in hoogh-duyts vertaelt door Hier. Megiserium en uyt den selven - in't Neder-duyts gebracht door F.S. Rare second Dutch translation of this highly important and adventurous narrative containing the first recorded visit of a non-Muslim to Mecca. This edition includes for the first time several full-page engravings - one depicting a 15th-century battle against camel-riding Arabs. - Ludovico di Varthema or Barthema (ca. 1468-1517) sailed from Venice to Egypt in 1502 and travelled through Alexandria, Beirut, Tripoli, and Aleppo, arriving in Damascus in April 1503. Here he enrolled in the Mameluke garrison and proceeded overland to Khaybar, Medina and Mekka, thereby becoming the first European to enter the two holiest cities of Islam. His travels furthermore took him to South Arabia, Shiraz (Persia), India, Goa, Cochin, and supposedly the Malay isthmus, Sumatra, Banda, the Moluccas, the Spice Islands, Borneo, Java and Malacca. He finally returned to Lisbon in 1508. - "Varthema's Itinerario, first published in 1510, had an enormous impact at the time, and in some respects determined the course of European expansion towards the Orient" (Howgego). His account, moreover, contains a detailed description of Mecca and the Islamic pilgrimage, and four evocative plates (including an illustration of a Sati ritual). - Contrary to the statement on the title-page, this is de second Dutch translation; an earlier and rather elusive rendering had already been published at Antwerp in 1544 (recorded in just one institutional copy worldwide!). The present translation was made by Felix van Sambix de Jonge after Megiser's German translation of the Italian.
