Varying paper thickness & paper margins. Contemporary boards, light vertical crease on some maps, creased corners (marginal) on 4 maps, tear restored on plate no.53. This rare collection of maps illustrates the war between Turkey and Venice (1570-73), comprising maps of the coasts and of the most important ports of Austria, Dalmatia, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, charts of the Aegean islands and of principal islands of the Mediterranean sea, also of Italy, England, Ireland and Iceland. Maps for this Isolario were first printed on individual sheets and later as collections with a title-page. Although the handwritten page numbering is starting from “4”, it is uncertain if the current copy was printed with a title page.
