The illustration of this edition consists of 63 maps in the text (10 of which are printed on 5 sheets) as well as an full-page world map based on the Rumolt Mercator model (Shirley 202). These maps, engraved by Porro, already illustrated the Latin editions of Magini 1596, 1597, 1608 and 1617, as well as the Italian translation of 1597-1598.

Occasional small stains, small hole in the last leaf (index) affecting some letters. A broad-margined copy, complete.
