DESCRIPTION: Coronelli's beautiful map of Northern India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, etc., and extending north to the Himalayas.<br><br> Coronelli's rendition is largely based on the Baffin Roe map of 1618 but with additions and revisions by Blaeu.<br><br> Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) Born to a tailor in Venice, Coronelli began working as an apprentice to a xylographer at a young age. Following an education in Venice and Rome, he earned a doctorate in theology, while also studying astronomy. In the late 1670s, he was commissioned to create a set of globes for the Duke of Parma. Coronelli later moved to Paris for two years where he would construct the King's huge globes, which were 12.5 feet in diameter. His style is uniquely his own.
