“Vincenzo Maria Coronelli’s large two-sheet ‘AMERICA SETTENTRIONALE’, dated 1688, did not appear in an atlas until 1691, in the first edition of the ‘Atlante Veneto’. It is possible that the map was made available before its inclusion. In 1689 with the agreement of Coronelli, Jean Baptiste Nolin published in Paris a reduced single sheet version. It incorporated all of the advances and introductions of the larger work. It is not an entirely slavish derivative as along the shores of Hudson Bay are new toponyms and the western side bears a legend describing ‘Fort Francois’. Off the south-east coast and the Outer Banks is an erasure which is present on all examples examined. It most probably represents an error in production” (Burden).

As with other maps published by Nolin recognition of some of the material is given to Jean Nicolas du Tralage, Sieur Tillemon, although not until the second state. This third state was issued in 1704 just prior to Nolin’s death in 1708. Burden (1996-2007) 656; Karpinski (1937) no.
