SPORADES: Kyra Panagia Alonissos Skiathos Skopelos. Greece. MALLET, 1683 map
'Is(les) de Pelagnisi Dromi &c'. Artist/engraver/cartographer: Allain Manesson Mallet. Provenance: "Description de l'Univers, contenant les differents systemes du Monde, les Cartes generales & particulieres de la Geographie Ancienne & Moderne: Les Plans & les Profils des principales Villes & des autres lieux considerables de la Terre; avec les portraits de Souverains qui y commandent, leurs Blasons, Titres & Livrees: Et les Moeurs, Religions, Gouvernements & divers habillemens de chaque Nation", dedie'e au Roy, par Allain Manesson Mallet. Paris, Chez Denys Thierry, Rue S. Jacques, MDCLXXXIII [First edition, Paris, 1683]. Type: Original 17th century copperplate map. The map, which is orientated to towards the north east, depicts the Greek islands of Pelagnisi (Kyra Panagia), Dromo/Dromi (Alonissos), Schiat (Skiathos) & Scopeli (Skopelos). The island named as Saraquino (Sarakino) appears to be misnamed/mislocated - given its shape and its location on the map relative to Alonissos, the island thus marked is more likely to be Peristera. The island shown as Larsura may be Gioura. The coast of Thessaly is shown in the distance at the top.
