Description

Taken from the “Chorographica Descriptio Provinciaru & Conventum F. F. Minorum S. Francisci Capucinorum...”.

The atlas of the Capuchin provinces was initiated in manuscript form by the minister general of the order, Father Silvestro from Panicale in 1632 and was to serve as an aid for geographic General visits.

At his death, the successor Father Giovanni from Montecaliero, which is often mistakenly attributed the authorship of maps, commissioned by his father Massimino Guechen to continue the work.

The engravers of the plates were executed by Massimino from Guechen, Bernardino Burdigalensis and Ludovico Monteregali.

The first edition was printed in Rome in 1643, the second in Turin in 1649 and then in 1654 and finally released in 1712, another convention attribute maps to Montecalerio.

The work showed visually the spread of the order, in fact the different maps of the atlas, which represent nations and provinces, to offer each of them the full statistical convents.

Copperplate, very good condition. Rare.
