Research Remarks
| Description | There are several Bonferio/Halma maps. Fransicus Halma was a Dutch mapmaker. It is not clear who Bonferio was, perhaps an earlier (Italian?) cartographer upon whom Halma relied for original engravings, cuts, etc. Often in the collection the works of Ptolemy or Ortellius are appended to a later mapmaker's name to indicate this. Map is in Latin. |
