The numbers in this list refer to the 'Tabularum Appendicis Index' on which all the
titles have been numbered in a 17th Century hand. Apparently this has been done by
the first owner, immediately after the insertion of the extra maps. This must have been
done in the year 1630 as one year later the atlas was sold with over a hundred maps
and also because no map is dated after 1630. The addition of maps to the first Atlantis
Appendix seems to be quite usual, as also the copy nr I has originally been amended by
ten maps, as can be derived from the following list in a 17th Century hand on the
'Tabularum Appendicis Index' of the British Museum copy:
'In alio tenui volumine sunt
1. Hollandia 6. Hannonia
2. Gelria Clivia c. 7. Artesia
3. Coloniensis Diocoesis 8. Picardia
4. Frisia occidentalis 9. Namurcum
5. Frisia orientalis 10. Lutzenburgus'
This small volume however is not in the British Museum 9. Keuning gives in his
bibliography of the Blaeu atlas10 a descriptive list of the titles of the maps in the
Atlantis Appendix of 1630. He has derived these titles from the maps of the British
Museum copy. Either Keuning is incomplete in citing the titles or some of them differ
slightly with the map titles of copy nr IV: f. i. on the plates 'Ducatus Luneburgensis'
(22), 'Novus XVII inferioris Germaniae' (39), 'Genovesato' (63), 'Terra firma' (66),
a.o. the titles are longer than Keuning gives. These differences however are not very
important. Of more importance are the following peculiarities of copy nr IV:
9 Neither Wieder nor Keuning have ever given this particularity of the Index of the Appendix.
