Our example was published by his son-in-law <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johannes_Janssonius\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Johannes Janssonius<\/a>. Hondius\u2019s map was subsequently re-engraved by Jean-Baptiste Vrients for Abraham Ortelius\u2019s atlas, with altered cartouches.<\/p>\n<p>The makers were evidently pleased with their map. The cartouche at upper left reads (in Latin): \u201cBenevolent reader from France and Geneva, I wish you to take note of this. Farewell, and consult our work carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Geneva, an important Hanseatic city which in the Middle Ages provided merchants from northern and southern Europe with a marketplace, was also the city from which a new wave of Protestantism spread across Europe in the 16th century. The Frenchman <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Calvin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Calvin<\/a> (1509\u20131564) propagated his ideas from Geneva from 1641 onwards, and within a few years his <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Calvinism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calvinism<\/a> had gained a foothold in France, Germany and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to numerous topographical details, the map shows, southwest of Geneva, the Ch\u00e2teau de Sainte-Catherine, which was destroyed by King Henri IV. In the lake, alongside a sea monster and several sailing vessels, an inscription states that in some places it is so deep that its depth is beyond comparison. Near Yvorne, at the eastern end of the lake, we read that an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecriplume.com\/2012\/11\/yvorne-leboulement-de-1584\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earthquake<\/a> occurred there in 1584. The map also states that <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/La_D%C3%B4le\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La D\u00f4le<\/a>, on the border between France and Switzerland, is the highest mountain in the Jura.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 950,- (incl. frame)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17TH CENTURY LAKE GENEVA AND SURROUNDINGS \u201cLacus Lemani Vicinorumq.
