BLAEU, CORNELIUS.

Ca. 1610-42.
Holländsk kartograf, son till Willem Janszoon Blaeu (se denne). Blev tidigt sin fars medarbetare. Efter dennes död fortsatte han faderns verk tillsammans med brodern Joan (se denne). Mellan åren 1639 och 1662 kom Blaeus atlas ut i 10 utgåvor med upp till 11 band och med text på 5 olika språk. Joan Blaeu gav ut 'Atlas major', 'Cosmographia Blaviana' som innehåller inte mindre än 589 kartor. Blaeus atlas är det första kartverk som har separata kartor över Norge och norska områden, i sista utgåvan 7 olika.
Det finns kartor ur Atlas Major med tysk text på baksidan. Enligt uppgift kom dock aldrig en tysk utgåva ut av Atlas Major. De kartor som således trots allt finns med tysk text är troligen lösa ströexemplar. (BL)

Celebi, Kâtip.

Kâtip Çelebi, Mustafa bin Abdullah, Haji Khalifa or Kalfa, (1609, Istanbul – 1657 Istanbul)
Kâtip Celebi was an Ottoman scholar. A historian and geographer, he is regarded as one of the most productive authors of non-religious scientific literature in the 17th century Ottoman Empire. Among his best-known works is the Kashf al-?un?n ‘an as?m? al-kutub wa-al-fun?n, ('The Removal of Doubt from the Names of Books and the Arts'), a bibliographic encyclopaedia, written in Arabic, which lists more than 14,500 books in alphabetic order.
Life and works
The son of a soldier, he himself was a soldier for ten years until a heritage made him turn to a more contemplative life. As the accountant of the commissariat department of the Ottoman Army in Anatolia, he accompanied the Ottoman army in the campaign against Baghdad in 1625, was present at the siege of Erzurum, and returned to Istanbul in 1628. In the following year he was again in Baghdad and Hamadan, and in 1633-34 at Aleppo, whence he made the pilgrimage to Mecca (hence his title Hajji).

Bland arbeten.
Cihannüma (The mirror of the world) Constantinople, Ibrahim Müteferrika, 1732. First edition.
This is the second work by Kâtip Celebi published in 1729. The author was a well known writer on history and geography and a bibliophile and in this work intended to publish a universal system of geography. In fact only part of the work (including the description of Asia Minor) was completed by Kâtip who used European and Arabic and Persian sources, and the whole was supplemented and edited by Ibrahim, who dedicated it to the grand vizir of Sultan Mahmud II, Ali Pasha.

The picture is showing the map of the Indian Ocean and the China Sea that was engraved in 1728 by the Hungarian-born Ottoman cartographer and publisher Ibrahim Müteferrika; it is one of a series that illustrated Katip Çelebi’s Cihannuma (Universal Geography), the first printed book of maps and drawings to appear in the Islamic world.
