Notes
Paulli’s is the first cartobibliography, and he has touchingly dedicated his work to Blaeu, Jansson and Visscher. The book includes descriptions of maps of the world, continents, and the countries of Europe by these cartographers, as well as Ptolemy, Ortelius, Goos, van Loon, Sanson, and others; from geographies, pilots and maritime atlases.
From page 113, Paulli lists nearly sixty maps of the Americas, beginning with Ortelius; and one map of the Antarctic, by Jansson.
