This is an interesting Italian version of d’Anville’s map of the Southeast. It is most notable for the incorrect boundaries showing a huge Louisiana extending eastward to include present-day Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama. The boundary between the Carolinas and Florida is shown at the ‘Alatamaha ou George R.’, and Georgia is not identified. In the left border of the map is the note of ‘Presidio Espagnol de la Prov. de Tecas’ in modern-day Texas. Good detail of towns and cities, Indian villages and tribes, rivers, portages, forts, harbours and early place-names. This is an example of the second state, published by Giuseppi Remondini. Phillips (1909-) 647-48; Sellers and Van Ee (1981) 1408.
