Das Heutige Aegypten. Composite Atlas of Maps.

1788

An unusual composite atlas of maps primarily by Homann, but also Seutter, Lotter, and others. The two title pages are in manuscript, presumably made by the person who assembled the maps. The date of 1788 on the title page is later than most dated map sheets in the atlas, which range from 1702 to 1791. Color. Relief shown as sketches or hachures. Places of publication for sheets in this Homann atlas include Nuremberg (Nuernberg), Noribergae (Amsterdam), and Norimbergae (London). First section title page lists Frankfurt am Main as the place of publication. Publication date is 1788, based on the date shown on the first section title page. Date assigned to each atlas sheet matches what is printed, unless there is no printed date, in which case the publication date of 1788 is used.
