Comments on map:

At [fo. 90] in volume of Coronelli work, with various engraved titles: at start is Oxoniae, atque Cantabrigiae universitates celeberrimae a' Patre Cosmographo Cornonelli... [n.d.], followed by Oxfort da' Latini chimato Oxonium, universita celebre nell' Ingilterra, delineata, c descritta dal P. General Coronelli; [fo. 51] Cambridge, da' Latini detta Cantabrigia universita celebre nell' Ingilterra, delineata, e descritta ne' suoi viaggi cola dal P. Coronelli; [fo 80] INGHIL TERRA.
