Dear all, I just obtained a lovely piece of Petrus Kaerius´ Regni Bohemia Nova Descriptio (probably second state, instead of original P. Kaerius Excuderbat it mentions Amsterodami Evardus Cloppenburghius excudit). I am asking myself a questions which some of the antique map and print lovers hate (the content is what matters, they say): How many pieces of the great map could have survived till present days? Marcel van den Broecke (orteliusmaps.com) has done a fascinating survey for the work of Ortelius in which he estimates that out of circa 8000 copies of the map of Bohemia (Regni Bohemiae Descriptio) some 13 percent could be still around us. My question: Is there any source from which I could get more info about the Kearius Bohemia (which atlas it comes from and how many copies of it was printed in both, or more, states?) Well, I do not have Koeman... Thank you!
