The splendid architectural titlepage, which bears the signature "In Venetia Donato Rasicoti Forma at the bridge of Bare, ri, contains the personifications of different virtues and moral or civil qualities and brings down, in the center the tower Babel. The titlepage has no indications regarding the date but we received a request for editorial privilege addressed by the Rasicotti to the Senate of the Venetian Republic on 7 March 1598, to have the right to reproduce prints; according to scholars, the publication of the collection should be placed around 1600.Francesco Valegio is a very significant figure in the editorial landscape of the lagoon city at the turn of the two centuries: its original branches had a long life and we will find them printed, again in 1713, in the work of Raffaello Savonarola, also known as Alfonsus Lasor A Varea, Universus Terrarum Orbis.The work is very rare. ABPC only records two copies with different numbers of boards, sold in international auctions in the last forty years. Darlington & Howgego, n. 4; Phillips, Atlases, 5390. No in Cremonini.See M.
