Description: ff. 2. [Estienne Bremond]. [Portolan atlas]. Latin. Nautical chart of the Aegean Sea made by Estienne Bremond; bound with 2 charts by Salvator Oliva (numbered HM 2515, q.v.).
Type: Manuscripts(Opens in new tab)
Date: [1655]
Call number: mssHM 31
Creator: Bremond, Estienne(Opens in new tab)
Provenance: Sale of the library of Abate Luigi Celotti (ca. 1768-ca. 1846), Sotheby's, 14 March 1825, lot 207. A sale catalogue slip affixed to front pastedown describes a "map of the World on three leaves." Since this volume also contains the two charts made by Salvator Oliva (HM 02515) which form the first and second leaves and since neither is a "World map," the sale catalogue entry either was carelessly made or the slip actually refers to a different portolan chart and was erroneously placed in this volume. This volume may instead have been lot 210 or lot 283 in the Celotti sale: both numbers are pencilled on the pastedown. Number 391 on back pastedown refers to Cochrane's sale of the library of Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford (1766-1827), to Sir Thomas Phillipps, 8 December 1830 as dated by A. N. L. Munby, The Formation of the Phillipps Library up to the Year 1840, Phillipps Studies (Cambridge 1951-60) 3:56. Front pastedown bears his number "Phillipps MS 6360."
