LEVANTO Francesco Maria / CORONELLI V. M., “Coste Maritime dell Isola di Candia con tutte le Baye e Porti di essa e dell’ Isole la circonvicine” from “Prima Parte dello Speccio del Mare… dal padre Maestro Coronelli” / “PORTO DELLA CANEA“, 1698. 

From the RARE re-edition of Levanto’s work in 1698 by V. M. Coronelli. Coronelli re-issues Levanto’s work probably in order to act as the last volume of his monumental “ATLANTE VENETO”. The maps are identical to Levanto’s 1664 edition but there are many additions in the text. Here the text on reverse is the one used in the “Tomo II” of the “Atlante Veneto”, 1696, and a rare engraving of CANEA (Χανιά) 17x13cm is included within text.

The main rare chart of Crete and the sorounding islands bears two compass roses, decorative title cartouche and scale bar. Map dim.51x40cm. Plate numbered “18”. Full margins, thick paper, very light marginal signs of water-stain and minor marginal crease of lower right corner. Overall in a Very Fine condition.
