About the Item
Antique map titled 'Empire des Assyriens' and 'Assyrie Chaldee et Mesopotamie selon les Anciens'. Two maps on one sheet, the upper sheet showing the Empire of the Assyriens and the second showing the region of the Tigres and Euphrates Rivers. This map originates from Alain Manesson Mallet's 'Description de l 'Univers'.
Artists and Engravers: Alain Manesson Mallet (1630–1706) was a French cartographer and engineer. He started his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV, became a Sergeant-Major in the artillery and an Inspector of Fortifications. He also served under the King of Portugal, before returning to France, and his appointment to the court of Louis XIV. His military engineering and mathematical background led to his position teaching mathematics at court. His major publications were Description de L'Univers (1683) in 5 volumes, and Les Travaux de Mars ou l'Art de la Guerre (1684) in 3 volumes. His Description de L'Universe contains a wide variety of information, including star maps, maps of the ancient and modern world, and a synopsis of the customs, religion and government of the many nations included in his text. It has been suggested that his background as a teacher led to his being concerned with entertaining his readers. This concern manifested itself in the charming harbor scenes and rural landscapes that he included beneath his description of astronomical concepts and diagrams. Mallet himself drew most of the figures that were engraved for this book.
Condition: Good, age-related toning. French text on verso, please study image carefully.
Date: 1683
