Description
Carta tratta dal Nova et accurata Italiae hodiernae descriptio in qua omnium eius regionum, vrbium, pagorum, dominiorum, castellorum, montium, fluviorum, fontium, lacuum, et portuum, historia exhibetur. Geographicis tabulis et vrbium praecipuarum iconibus illustrata a Iudoco Hondio addita est Siciliae, Sardiniae, Corsicae, et itinerariorum per Italiam brevis delineatio, stampato a Leida dalla tipografia Elzevir nel 1627.
Si tratta di un atlante geografico unito ad una raccolta di cartografia urbana, esclusivamente dedicato alla penisola. L’opera consta di 31 carte geografiche e 67 vedute o piante di città. Le carte derivano dall’Atlas Minor del Mercator, mentre la cartografia urbana è basata sui modelli introdotti a Venezia da Francesco Valegio e da quelli del Civitates Orbis Terrarum di G.Braun e F. Hogenberg. L’opera è relativa al periodo in cui Jodocus Hondius II si era appena diviso dal fratello Hendrick. Secondo la letteratura esisterebbe una prima edizione della raccolta, stampata ad Amsterdam nel 1626.
Incisione in rame, finemente colorata a mano, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Jodocus HONDIUS Jr. (Amsterdam 1594 -1629)
|
Jodocus Hondius Jr. was born in 1593, and his earliest signed publication was a map of Scandinavia, issued in 1613. Son of Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) - engraver, cartographer, printer and publisher – founder of the Hondius typography, that was one of the most important of the time, even thanks to the collection of Mercator’s plates and the pubblication of many charts and atlases. In 1604, Hondius bought the copperplates of Mercator’s Atlas at the auction of Gerard Jr.’s effects. He added another forty maps, including new maps of the Continents and important regional maps of the Americas, before publishing a new edition of the Atlas, in 1606, in competition with Ortelius’ Theatrum. As many of the maps were more up-to-date, the Mercator-Hondius Atlas effectively superseded Ortelius’ Theatrum. On his death in 1612 his widow, Coletta van den Keere continued the business with his two childs; Jodocus Jr. and Hendrick (1597-1651) took over. In June 1621, Jodocus Jr. married Anne Staffmaecker, and moved into a shop on the Dam, where he established his own publishing business. From the period 1621 onwards, Jodocus Jr. published a small number of maps, including several "figured border" maps, including maps of the four continents, the British Isles and Brabant. In 1618 Jodocus Jr. published the important map "Nova Virginiae Tabula", engraved by Dirk Grijp, being the first and most important derivative of John Smith's map of Virginia originally published in 1612. (Burden, America, 193). Other engravers who worked for Hondius are Abraham Goos, Salomon Rogiers, Evert Sijmonsz van Hamersveldt. Very little is known about the cooperation between the Hondius' brothers and their brother-in-law. Aside from the partnership in the continuation of Jodocus Sr's workshop (1612), it seems all three successively started their own businnes. However, from the map of Orange of 1627, it appears that a cooperation certainly extended as far as that year, as the map has a dedication by Jud. et Henr. Hondius to Frederick Henry. According to Peter van the Krogt (cf. Atlantes Neerlandici) Jodocus Hondius Jr. and his younger brother Henricus Hondius where competitors.
