Abstract
U Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt u Zagrebu čuvaju se dva folio sveska s ukupno 99 zemljopisnih karata datiranih u 17. stoljeće koji se u muzejskom inventaru vode kao primjerak njemačkog izdanja Novus Atlasa Johannesa Janssoniusa (1588. – 1664.). Iako identičnog uveza i s mnogobrojnim oznakama Janssoniusa, poticaj za preispitivanje ove atribucije bio je sadržaj svezaka koji su uključivali i zemljovide koji upućuju na drugačiju provenijenciju. U članku se donose rezultati detaljno provedenih istraživanja metodom komparacije i korelacije koji su doveli do nove atribucije i datacije Novus Atlasa. Unutar dvaju svezaka, uz manje poznata imena ne samo nakladnika, već i kartografa i gravera karte potpisuju i poznati kartografi poput Abrahama Orteliusa (1527. – 1598.), Henricusa Hondiusa (1597. – 1651.), Pierrea Duvala (1619. – 1683.), Fredericka de Wita (1629. – 1706.), Pierrea Mortiera (1661. – 1711.) i ostalih, što mijenja ne samo postavljenu atribuciju već i dataciju u razdoblje od kraja 16. stoljeća do prve polovice 18. stoljeća.
Highlights
Among the rare cartographic works in the Collection of printing and book binding in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb (MUO) there are two folio volumes[1] with a total of 99 maps
The cover of one volume's title page indicates that it is a German edition of the Novus Atlas by the famous Dutch cartographer Johannes Janssonius, first published in 1638, the results of this study show that in the volumes containing unbound sheets some maps are of completely different provenance
All of the above indicates that in the case of the Museum's volumes of geographic maps we are not dealing with a homogeneous edition by Johannes Janssonius, as signified by the title page of the Novus Atlas, but with skillfully formed collectors' volumes dominated by maps from the Golden Age of Dutch cartography and related to the Mercator – Hondius – Janssonius atlases production and, with such rarities as Abraham Ortelius' maps from his first systematized collection Theatrum Orbius Terrarum from the year 1570
Summary
Among the rare cartographic works in the Collection of printing and book binding in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb (MUO) there are two folio volumes[1] with a total of 99 maps. U taj svezak sadržajem također ne bi pripadala Tabvla Anemographica (Sl. 6.) koji nosi samo oznaku Johannesa Janssoniusa kao nakladnika, a prikazuje trideset i dva kerubina koji predstavljaju smjerove vjetrova čiji nazivi su napisani na šest različitih jezika, s tekstom na poleđini.[24] the back of the map there is a text entitled: Das Biszthumb D'aire (The Diocese of Aire). Other maps with similar names and identical content could be found, as Keuning listed, in Janssonius's editions of Atlas Maritimus from 1650 and 1652 (Keuning, 1951: 81) Some maps in this volume of the Novus Atlas do not have texts on the back, such as the map entitled Orbis Terrarum nova et accuratissima tabula, (Fig. 7) signed by the Dutch painter Nicolaes Berchem, engraver J. de Visscher and publisher Nicolaus Visscher.[25] The map shows the two hemispheres with polar projections above and below: Polus Arcticus and Polus Antarcticus
