δ America.- Martyr d'Anghiera (Peter) De Orbe Novo, edited by Richard Hakluyt, collation: a⁸, A-Z⁸, Aa-Rr⁸, woodcut printer's device to title, woodcut head-pieces and initials, with the exceedingly rare engraved folding map of the New World, monogrammed 'LG' in ligature in lower left corner, possibly the French engraver Leonardo Gaultier, an excellent fine impression printing with light plate tone on 16th century laid paper with small spherical watermark [similar to Briquet 14056 and 14057, French, dateable to 1550s or slightly later], italic type, contemporary marginal annotation to leaf D1, some light foxing and browning, map with some light scattered spotting, mostly marginal, later parchment boards, ink title to spine, some soiling, spine darkened, 8vo (170 x 105mm.), Paris, Guillelmum Avvray, 1587.⁂ Peter Martyr's authoritative chronicle of the Spanish conquest of the Americas, edited by Richard Hakluyt as part of an ongoing enterprise to encourage England's competitive expansion into the New World. Published the year before the Armada, the work is dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh, an apparent promotion for Hakluyt's cause. The Latin text is drawn from the 1530 edition of Martyr's text, the first to be published with all eight "Decades". The folding map, known as the Hakluyt-Martyr map, is a remarkable piece of cartography, exceedingly rare to find in its original situation. We cannot trace a copy appearing at auction with the map present in over a century. It covers North and South America, including part of Africa, Europe, and Pacific islands. New Guinea and Japan are shown partially blank. The overall shape of the coastline of America is greatly improved, eliminating the bulge to western South America commonly found in maps of the period. Most remarkable is the inclusion of "Virginea 1584", the first appearance of the name Virginia on a printed map. An area entitled "Nuevo Mexico" with a large inland lake is also the first use of this term on a printed map.Literature: Adams M753; Sabin 1552; Burden 63 for the Hakluyt-Martyr map. δ This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
