Islandia

From an edition by Jodocus Hondius of the miniature atlas of Petrus Bertius. The first edition was in Latin (1616, Descriptio Islandiæ) but two years later there appeared a French edition (1618, Description d'Islande).
The maps have been re-engraved from previous editions and slightly enlarged. Here the shape of Iceland leans more towards Mercator than Ortelius. All the 140 place-names come from the former.
