LEVANTO, Francesco Maria (fl.1664-1675). Guida fedele de piloti per il mare Mediterraneo . [N.p.]: 1676. Exceedingly rare second edition of a maritime atlas based on Pieter Goos's pilot guide of the Mediterranean, Nieuwe Groote Zee-Spiegel (1662).

We can trace just one institutional copy , at the Achille Bertarelli library in Milan. Folio (410 x 277mm). Engraved title, 25 engraved charts, all but one double-page (small wormholes, most charts shaved just into plate). Contemporary gilt vellum , silk ties (probable remboitage, rebacked with new endpapers).
