Notes

Johann David Zunner’s version of Nicolas Sanson d’Abbeville’s map of Japan.

The map was produced by Zunner for his ‘Die gantze Erd=Kugel, Bestehend In den vier bekannten Theilen der Welt, Als Europa, Asia, Africa und America’ (1679). It is a faithful copy of Sanson’s map from ‘L’Asie en plusiers cartes nouvelles, et exactes’. Zunner gives full credit to Sanson on the title-page and on the map.

Johann David Zunner (1641-1704) was a German publisher active in Frankfurt.
