Description

Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae. Das ist: Ein Reisebuch, Uber die gantze heilige Schrifft, in zwey Bücher geteilet... Zuvor gemehret mit einem Büchlein De monetis et mensuris... Insonderheit aber mit einer feinen nützlichen Erklerung des Buches Josua... Mit einer Vorrede des Herrn D. Martini Chemnitii.
The early German edition of Bünting's Itinerarium illustrated with 12 (10 double-page) woodcut maps and plans: 2 world maps (including the famous world map in the form of a clover leaf (Shirley 142) with the three principal continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, are arranged in the form of a clover leaf with Jerusalem at the center. Three countries lie outside this trefoil: England, Scandinavia, and, in the lower left-hand corner, America. Seamonsters and mermaids adorn this uniquely designed cartographic curiosity.

Other landmark maps caricature Asia as Pegasus and Europe as a Queen: one of the most remarkable early cartographic curiosities. Spain is shown with a crown, indicating its leadership in Europe. Italy is the right arm and Denmark is on the left. Although apparently female, it has been suggested that the figure represents Emperor Charles V.
Asia as Pegasus, Africa, two of the Holy Land, Egypt, a map of the Eastern Mediterranean and plans of Jerusalem and the temple.

An early, original German edition of a classic account of Biblical travels, the Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae, was written by the Lutheran pastor and theologian Heinrich Bünting (1545-1606) of Hannover (in Lower Saxony).
First published by Jakob Lucius the elder at Helmstedt in Lower Saxony in 1581, with the third volume, De monetis et mensuris sacrae scripturae, added in 1582.
Bünting, although he had never actually visited Palestine, produced an original work by recasting sacred scripture into a Reissbuch" (Noonan); "the most complete summary of the knowledge of that day concerning the geography of the biblical events" (Van der Heijden, p. 55).
The Chronica, matching in format and produced by the same printer and publisher at the same time, contains a wealth of historical, military, heraldic and genealogical information, beautifully illustrated with finely detailed woodcuts.

Together with: Uber das Buch Josua.
Together with: De monetis et mensuris sacrae scripturae.

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build.
