DESCRIPTION DE L’ANCIENNE-GAULE, c.1780: 21"x14.5"
(525mm x 370mm). Taken from Claude Buy de Mornas’ Atlas Méthodique
et Elementaire de Geographie et l'Histoire, published in 1756.. The map is
set between two columns of text, within a beautiful decorated border. The left-hand
column has a historical summary, the right a list of ancient locations within
the map, with their modern names. A very attractive map.
Four more maps from this atlas, two of which explain the
descent of the Celts from Japheth, son of Noah and father of the Titan Atlas (!)
are available from our Ancient World page.
