Amat di San Filippo, Pietro, 1822-1895, & G. Uzielli.
Biografia dei viaggiatori italiani...
Publisher: Roma, Sede della Societą Geografica Italiana, 1882-1884; reprint Martino 1996.
'... colla bibliografia delle loro opere.' With Mappamondi, carte nautiche, portolani ed altri monumenti cartografici specialmente italiani dei secoli XIII-XVII. Besterman 6464 & 1153. 8vo; three volumes in one: 742, 85, 325 p., two color maps, indices, appendices. After devoting twenty years to the study of Sardinian history, Pietro Amat di San Filippo turned his attention to filling the considerable gaps in knowledge about Italian explorers and travellers. Publication of his 'Biografia' in 1874 flushed out new information which resulted in this definitive edition, containing 717 chronologically arranged entries for the period 1120-1881. Originally published separately from the 'Biografia', Amat & Uzielli's rare study of the maps of Italian exploration from the 13th through the 17th centuries has yet to be fully appreciated. Binder's cloth; new from publisher. (1065x).
