For the 1640 Venice edition of Giovanni Botero's Le Relationi, a new plate was cut. This edition was published by Lucatonio Giunti and his heirs in Venice in 1640. This map of Africa is one of four maps of the continents that appear in this book. Geographically, the map is unchanged from the 1582 Giovanni D'Anania map, which was used as the model for the first edition of Botero's Le Relationi that contained maps, the 1595 Venice edition published by Grecco. This map has a circle surrounding all of Africa in a similar manner to the 1582 D'Anania map in its second state. The Botero-Giunti map is distinguished from the second state of the D'Anania map of 1582 by the omission of the period '.' which appeared after the title of 'AFRICA.' in the D'Anania map. Betz, Map #69. Not in Norwich.
