Artist or Maker

Literature

Edizione originale di opera rarissima, non censita da Mira e Moncada Lo Giudice. L'Autore, cosmografo e maestro di geografia di Filippo IV di Spagna, si inserisce a suo modo in un filone letterario molto in voga nel Seicento, quello del mito edenico, componendo una prosa geografica sul Paradiso Terrestre, di cui fornisce la descrizione più dettagliata e lunga fino ad allora composta e di cui tenta una localizzazione geografica. Molto bella la mappa dell'Armeniae, Mesopotamiae, Chaldeae, Syriae et Assiriae e province adiacenti, incisa in rame da Placido Donia su disegno del Giangolini. Cfr. Brunet II, 1583: "Ouvrage curieux, contenant une description historique et topographique de l'Arménie, la Mésopotamie, la Chaldée, l'Assyrie, etc"; Graesse III, 78.
