This beautiful geographical work, published in several volumes, is a slightly later edition of Giovanni Lorenzo d'Anania’s most famous work, L’universale fabrica del mondo, ovvero cosmografia. The maps are typical of the time in which they were produced, with plenty of lovely accents like the little sea monster pictured above, near Africa.We’ll feature several of the maps from this book over the next couple of weeks.Book: L’universale fabrica del mondo, overo cosmografia / dell’ ecc. Gio. Lorenzo d’Anania. Venetia : presso il Muschio, 1582. -- source link
