Description

View taken from Les delices de l'Italie, contenant une description exacte du Païs, des principales villes, de toutesa les Antiquitez, published for the first time in Leiden in 1706 by Pieter Vander Aa and later reprinted in Paris by Guillaume Cavelier.

Most copies of the second edition have on the title page the indication "Compagnie des libraires", an association of booksellers and printers, whose composition has varied over the years but to which Guillaume Cavelier belonged.

The guide, which we know from Barbier I, 872 to be the work of Rogissart and Abbot Havard, is embellished with 152 plates.

 

Copperplate, two small holes at the top, in good condition.
