[MANUSCRIPT ATLAS] Chianale Thomae, "Geographia", (Atlas of Modern Geography), 1790-1814, Manuscript Atlas. No place but Italy, c.1790 for the maps. Completion of manuscript in 1814 (dated). 8vo (18x13cm), pp.80, [66] including appendix of maps and 21 (some folded) maps. Ex-libris Chianale (his personal copy). Contemporary binding, spine rubbed, very clean inside, maps fine. Giovanni Thomas Chianale (1770-1823) was an Italian educated cleric and geographer. His elder brother (Giovanni Saverio Chianale), was an Italian engraver, working in Venice and Turin. He was probably in Zatta team also. The current manuscript geography was compiled by Thomas and is accompanied with 21 double page printed maps, all printed in Venice 1790 by Zatta. The maps are depicting mainly Europe, but also a world map as well as maps of Africa, Asia & America are included. The world map is significant as presenting an early correct representation of Australia. The maps were printed to be included in another world geography book. We can assume that Saverio provided the printed maps for the geography of his brother. A unique manuscript Geography and Atlas.
