a. Europa (2) and America (5) don't have the annotation 'cum privilegio'.
b. A map of Spain, different from that in the other copies of the Appendix. The title
is (plate 8) 'Nova Hispaniae description. Amsterodami Everardus Cloppenbur-
ghius excudit'. 41,5 X 56,3 cm. In Upper and lower borders ten views of Spanish
towns. At each side three figures illustrating types of costmne. In the middle of the
lower border 'Philippus III, Rex Hispan.' in medaillon (fig. 2). This beautiful map
is also different from the Blaeu map nr 6 (Wieder, Mon. Cart., p. 68).
c. Plate 54. 'Gallia/Nova Galliae description. I. van den Ende fec.. Excudebat Guiliel-
MUS Blaeuw sub signo Solarii'. This is a revised copy of the map of Gallia in the
Atlantis Appendix in the British Museum (see Wieder, Mon. Cart., p. 81). It has no
borders with views and figures. The name Guilif.lmus Janssonius is changed into
Guilielmus Blaeuw.
No date.
It is not these differences from the other known copies of the Appendix of 1630, but
rather the 15 extra maps, which make CQpy nr IV most interesting. Several of these
15 maps include important contributions to the knowledge of map production in the
Dutch Republic of the first thirty years of the 17th Century. The two missing plates,
which make the copy nr IV incomplete, are surely over-compensated by the 15 remarkable
maps, many of which are quite rare. The analysis will be given below (the numbers
again refer to the handwritten numbers of the Index of copy IV).
9- Tabula Russiae ex autographo, quod delineandum curavit Foedor filius Boris desumta;
Amstelodami Excusum apud Hesselam Gerard. Sub signo Tabulae Nauticae.
Heavily damaged. Only left part intact. This is the map by Hessel Gerritsz about which
Keuning has given all the details n.
10. Urbis Moskvae. At right an explanation with legend. 37,3 x47,7 cm. The border of this text
is in an unfinished State. The copperplate, in its improved State, has been used by Joan Blaeu
for the printing of the map of Moskva on page 23 of the first volume of the Atlas Major of 1662.
We attribute this map to Hessel Gerritsz, who included the reduced plan as an inset for his
map Tabula Russiae (9). This attribution is based on the proof of his authorship of the following
plate:
11. Kremlenagrad. Castellum Urbis Moskvae. With dedication: Magno Duci/Michaeli Foedo-
rovits/ .ab Hesselo Gerhartio. 37,4x48,6 cm, (fig. 3).
Also this copperplate has been used by Joan Blaeu. The engraving is found in the first volume
of the Atlas Major of 1662, on page 24. But in the dedication the name Hesselo Gerhartio has
been omitted. It has never been suggested that plates 23 and 24 should date from fifty years earlier
than 1662. Keuning 12 did not know of these maps by Hessel Gerritsz. Nor did he suppose that
the insets of the 'tabula Russiae' by Hessel Gerritsz gave a hint of the existence of Originals for
those inset-maps. Thanks to this additional map in the Atlantis Appendix of 1630 we know that
Hessel Gerritsz engraved the plans of Moskva and the Kremlin in or shortly after 1613. Probably
after a Russian example, as may be deduced from the Kyrillic Script. The question from which
examples Hessel Gerritsz worked remains to be solved.
12. Daniaelregni typum/Potentissimo Invictissimoq. DJ Christiano, Daniae, Norvegiae/Gotthorum
Vandalorum Regi/lubens offert /Ioannes Janssonius. 1629. P. Kaerius coelavit. Ioannes Jansso
nius Excud.. 45,8 x 54,7 cm. In the borders: at the top four views of 'Coppenhagen, Elsenor, Lants-
kroon, Ripen'. Below four big views 'Sleswyck, Hamburgh, Lübeck, Oldenborgh' and two small
ones Croneburgum, Uraniburgum'. In the upper border three princes in medaillon. Below an effigy
of Tycho Brahe. In the left and right borders five figures showing different types of costumes

It is known from the records collected by Kleerkooper and van Stockum 13 that Petrus
Kaerius owned many copperplates amongst which was a 'Daniae'. After Kaerius' death his in-
