Trajecti ad Rhenum [Utrecht]: Apud Guilielmum Broedelet, 1701. Hardcover. Illustrated title-page, 40 (of 41) folding plates (38 of them maps in our copy), [12], 355, [83]p. Old (contemporary?) full leather. 14 cm. Splitting along front joint . Corner chipped at base of backstrip. No cover titling. Lacks both free endpapers and any other leaves preceding illustrated title-page and after the final page of the Index. The maps are generally sound and clean although a few have some soiling and creasing in margins and the map (Sueviae Antiquae Descriptio) facing page 92 has a horizontal tear across almost the entire map. The OCLC entry for the 1701 edition lists it as having 41 folding plates; the missing plate is the world map titled Globi Mundi Terrarum which should face page 5. A small format edition of this posthumously-published work by a talented German geographer. Numerous editions, mostly larger format, of this work were published in the century after Cluver's death. Good. Item #93505
