Description: Cadorin being the publisher maybe was also the engraver. The map is an exact copy of that made in 1599 by Pietro Bertelli and reissued in Padua by his son, Francesco, in 1629. Scoto’s Itinerario was first published in Rome by Filippo de’ Rossi in the Holy Year 1650. The author’s name was then spelt ‘Scotti’. In 1659 Cadorin issued from Padua a revised and augmented edition of the same book, with 38 plates. He published further editions in 1668-1670 (Malta being the 47th map).
