I was able to get a better look at the upper right margin of the Gallica
image, which indicates Tome XII, pag. 1. Maybe someone at the BNF can
double check the date of their entry, and how the date was determined.

To confuse matters further, WorldCat (via FirstSearch) has two entries
for the map, dated 1800 (likely an error?--seems to have page markings
as Tome II, pag. 1, but no linked image), and a second located at the
BNF dated 1713 (do your image measurements match?). That latter entry
is also in Gallica, and copied below, and was a fairly recent online
entry. They have a link to their image:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b5971470x.r=.langEN. That can be
manipulated for higher resolution, although the download for me is a
bit slow this morning, so I did not look carefully. The map could have
appeared in both the Dutch and British (later) editions of Rapin's
work. The map itself might have been copied from an earlier
publication. Does your map have any indication of volume and page
number in the margins?
