 Abraham Ortelius, 1624, Aeneae Troia,  Attractively colored, about 13 1/2 by 19 1/4 inches.   This is an exceptionally beautiful map that depicts Italy, Macedonia, North Africa extending to Tunisia, and the coastal area of Turkey and the Holy Land during the travels of Aenaeas.  The land masses include little detail besides name and the locations of important towns, cities and rivers including the Nile Delta. The seas however are beautifully detailed.  They are drawn with bold wavy lines and carefully outlined.  There are two large groupings of sailing vessels on the seas.  One of which is written about by Xenophon, Ovidius, Lycrophonous, and most extensively by Vigilius in his Aenaeas.  Aenaeas is reported to of roamed the seas for seven years.  In the course of these travels, only seven of the 20 original ships survived.  The map includes these seven ships in the bottom right-hand corner. The map has three very beautiful cartouches.  In the top center of the map is a cartouche that includes the title Aeneae Troiani Navigaio, in handsome calligraphy and bold, intricate strap-work.  In the top right corner is another equally attractive cartouche with elaborate strap-work and calligraphy.  At the bottom of the map is a very interesting cartouche which includes a section of text from Vergil's Aenaeas.  There were only 3,400 copies of the map printed.  Of this edition less than 40 remain.  This is a very interesting map.  This is a beautiful map that will engage the eye and interest the mind!  $1150
