HUTTICH, Johann (ca 1480-1544) and Simon GRYNAEUS (1493-1541). Novus orbis regionum ac insularum veteribus incognitarum. Basel: Hervagius, 1532.
HUTTICH, Johann (ca 1480-1544) and Simon GRYNAEUS (1493-1541). Novus orbis regionum ac insularum veteribus incognitarum. Basel: Hervagius, 1532. 2 o ( 304 x 217 mm). Woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf, LARGE WOODCUT FOLDING MAP, woodcut illustrations in text. (Light browning and staining, mostly marginal, the map with a few tiny holes along folds.) Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, two brass clasps (some rubbing to raised bands and corners); quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance : Johannes Craesselius (16th-century inscription), who also owned another geographical work, now at the University of Graz (1532 Rithaymer); Graz, Jesuits (inscription, entered into their catalogue in 1633 and into the Mathematical Library in 1674). AN ATTRACTIVE COPY OF HUTTICH'S GEOGRAPHY WITH THE MÜNSTER/HOLBEIN WORLD MAP FIRST EDITION, containing voyages of Cadamosto, the three voyages of Columbus, Nino, Pinzon, Vespucci, Cabral, and others. The world map, Typus cosmographicus universalis (412 x 590 mm), is the issue with "Asia" printed in large letters, but "Tropicus Capricorni" printed above the tropical line. The map has been variously attributed to Münster, Holbein, and Grynaeus himself; Shirley attributes the cartography to Münster and the border decoration to Holbein, who was working with several Basel publishers at the time. It is of particular interest especially for its "richness of artistic decoration" (Shirley). Adams G-1334: Sabin 34100; Shirley 67 (world map).
