Description
Map of the whole continent engraved by Rosaccio for "Le relationi Universli" by Giovanni Botero, published in Venice in 1605. The famous book of Botero has been published many times between 1582 and 1671.
The maps, according to Philip Burden and Richard Betz, can be dated back to 1605 and are clearly derived from that published in the Universale Fabrica del Mondo by Giovanni Lorenzo Anania, Venice 1582. They differ mainly in size and scale of gradation.
Rosaccio's map appears just in the 1605 edition, but it can be found also in late editions of Tolomeo's Geographia, edited by Rosaccio himself.
Copper engraving, in good conditions.

physician, travel writer, geographer, cosmographer and cartographer, he is known for some geographical and cosmographical works, which, although not large volume, brought him some fame and was reprinted several times. Among them the Teatro del Cielo e della Terra (Venezia 1595), Mondo e le sue parti, cioè Europa, Affrica, Asia et America (Verona 1596), il Microcosmo (Firenze 1600), iMondo elementare e celeste (Treviso 1604), il Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza della Terra (Firenze). He also supervised an edition of Ptolemy's Geography, printed in Venice in 1599, accompanied with some Discorsi and 42 new tables. He is also the author of a large map of the world (Venice 1597), a large map of Italy (Florence 1609) and one of Tuscany (Florence 1609). In all these works, however, shows little originality.
