= Van der Heijden 64, the 3rd state (of 3); Van der Krogt/ Koeman II, 3000:2.2. Very nice map, originally published in 1608 with figured borders. Used in the Atlas of 1630 and subsequent editions in second and third state, without these borders (except for the narrow ornamental border at the bottom). The cartouche in the lower right corner reads "Ghedruckt t'Amsterdam, bij Willem Blaeu op't Water inde vergulde Zonnewyser". "Lest he should be confused with his formidable rival Johannes Janssonius, it was probably in the course of 1640 that Willem Jansz. changed his signature on the general map of the Netherlands into Willem Blaeu." (Van der Heijden). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXIX.

= Koeman, Gesch. v.d. Kartografie in Ned., p.252: "De eerste Historische Atlas van Nederland werd samengesteld door de Groningse burgemeester Menso Alting. Deze amateur-historicus ontwierp naar eigen inzichten nieuwe historische kaarten van Nederland, in het bijzonder van Friesland (...). De kaarten uit het tweede deel, Friesland betreffende, zijn opgenomen in de Uitbeelding der Heerlijkheit Friesland... door Bernard Schotanus à Sterringa, 1718. (...) Ondanks de kritiek van 19e eeuwse historici op dit pionierswerk toonde Alting zich in dit opzicht een waardig tijdgenoot van de Europese historisch-geografen."
