”Ancienne Isle D'Hibernie” Hand-coloured Mallet's map of Ancient Ireland. Very decorative with galleons and cartouche with Neptune. This map originates from the German edition of Mallet's monumental work. The work was published in Frankfurt, 1686. Alain Mannesson Mallet (1630-1706) was a French mapmaker and engineer who served in the armies of Louis XIV. After rising through the ranks, Mallet was appointed as Inspector of Fortifications, a job which also required mathematical skills and which made him a competent military engineer. Eventually, he joined the court of Louis XIV at Versailles, where he taught math and focused on writing.Mallet is best known for his Description de L’Univers, first published in 1683, in five volumes. A wide-ranging geographical work, the Description included textual descriptions of the countries of the world, as well as maps of the celestial sky and the ancient and modern worlds. The Description continued to be published until the early eighteenth century. He also published a work in three volumes on warfare (1684) and a primer on geometry (1702).

Attractive large antique engraved map "Regni Bohemiae, Dvc. Silesiae, Marchionatvvm Moraviae et Lvsatiae" by Homann Heirs, originates from "Maior Atlas Scholasticus ex Triginta Sex Generalibus et Specialibus…". This book was Homann's second school atlas, published after his 1719 "Atlas Methodicus". While the "Atlas Methodicus" seemed to be intended for the younger school child with its system of blank maps and indexes, this "Atlas Scholasticus" was clearly intended for the more advanced student with its use of the same maps as appeared in Homann's various editions of his atlases. The author depicts historical parts of the Czech Republic: Bohemia region, Silesia, Moravia.
