A later edition of Bordone's Isolario first printed in 1528 in Venice. Bordone was a Paduan miniaturist trained as an illuminator; the simple outline woodcuts, enlivened by hills and trees, are in the style of Bartolommeo dalli Sonetti's 1485 Isolario, an atlas of the Aegean archipelego and the earliest of a series of printed 15th- and 16th-century Italian isolarios. The oval world map (Shirley 59), one of the first to use an oval projection, shows the New World, captioned 'terra del laboratore' and 'mo[n]do novo'; the other maps relating to the Americas are principally devoted to the Caribbean and include Jamaica, Cuba and Guadalupe. Adams B-2485 (earlier editions); Alden 547.2; Church I, 86; Harvard/Mortimer Italian, 82 (1534 edition); Phillips 164; Sabin 6421; The World Encompassed 83 (1528 edition).
