Show moreFirst Latin edition of Pietro Bizzarri's "Historia della guerra fatta in Ungheria dall' intuitissimo imperatore dei Christiani contro quello deui Turchi" (Lyons, Roville, 1568/69). Contains interesting accounts of the Turkish wars in Hungary during 1564-68, of the siege of Malta, and about the French conquests in Florida and Canada. Also contains passages on Transylvania: "Caeterum paucae urbes, oppida vero complura, non obscuri nominis, in quibus Cibinium, Brassovia, Colosium, Bistricia, & plura alia a Germanis, quos nos Saxones appellamus, condita, & habita, nec rara passim, aedificia cernuntur. Eius solum variis in locis auriferos surculos, & glebulas aureas passim gignit [...] Hanc duae cingunt Walachiae, Transalpina, & Moldavia, illa Danubio, haec mari Euxino admota" (p. 8). "Other passages show that Bizzarri also considered the problem of the meaning of history [...] The second part is a checkered conglomerate of various notes, not without historical value. Bizzarri was especially interested in more or less credible reports of celestial phenomena" (cf. Göllner). - The Italian historian Pietro Bizzarri (1530-83) from Sassoferrato lived in France and England for a time, served the Elector August of Saxony for ten years, and spent most of his life in Antwerp (cf. Jöcher). - Occasional brownstaining (especially to title). Modern binding using old stamp material (fleuronnée stamps forming a border and a central ornament). Contains what is clearly an independent text of Ribaut's Florida narrative: begins p. 240. Main Heritage Shelves General DB924 .B59 1573 Book Item-ID: i16598751 BIB-ID: 1494595 Show less

Circular world map with Jersusalem at the center, based on a portolan chart by Pietro Vesconte which originally appeared in the Liber secretorum fidelium crucis super Terrae Sanctae recuperatione et conservatione, by Marino Sanudo. [World Sphere]. Map of the world placing Jerusalem, the centre and showing three continents namely; Europe, Asia and Africa. The map is roughly made and this is probably due to limited knowledge of the area. For example Africa is drawn like a shoe, there is much exageration at the south. Arabia is represented in rectangular shape, with Mecca as the centre of Arabian peninsula, two other towns are marked as Cede port (part of Jeddah) and St Catarina, this is placed not very far from Jeddah. There are lines from south, north, west and east making point of inter-section at Jerusalem. Size: 34 x 34.40 cm. Published in 1611. Coloured. Latin. From: Gesta Dei per Francos ...
