Novum Orbis Terrarum Schema, in plano sic descriptum ... inventum Daniele Angelocratore ... sequitur Nic Geilekerck. [Frankfurt: 1628.] Engraved map of the world set as four globe gores, 285 x 540 mm. Title set along upper margin with the four gores engraved below. In a window mount. A curious and rare four-gore version of a spherical world. Angelocrator, a German pastor, included this map in his work on surveying, Doctrina de Ponderibus, Monetis et Mensuris, published in Frankfurt in 1628. He claimed the 4 gore concept as his own and borrowed the map details from the Amsterdam cartographer Nicolaas Geelkircken, as he states on the title. Shirley Mapping of the World, 320, rated R; See J. Keuning Imago Mundi 1954, 11:1, pp 174-177, for a discussion on Geelkerken.
