Title

Gran cam di Tartaria.

Map depicts partly China, total Russia with Japan and the Bering Sea. The map is from the second pocket atlas based on Abraham Ortelius' Folio Theatrum. It is often described as a plagiarism of the work. The copper plates are closely based on those of Philip Galle's 1593 Italian edition and were engraved by an anonymous artist and inserted into a page with Italian text. Published by Marchetti Pietro Maria "Theatro del Mondo".
