SECOND, ENLARGED EDITION of this treatise on ancient and modern weights, solid and liquid substances, precious metals and money, and surveying techniques. Daniel Angelocrator's world map is presented twice, once in the uncommon form of four gores on two sheets, and once with the gores re-arranged around north or south polar centres. He states that the projection is his invention while the simplified map derives from Geelkercken. It is often found incomplete, as in the Macclesfield copy, or else lacking altogether. Shirley 320; cf. Goldsmiths' 459 & Kress S.455 (first edition of 1617).
