17th century map of Europe by Mallet
Alain Manesson Mallet (1630-1706) spent the first part of his career as a foot soldier in one the regiments of Louis Fourteen, becoming a sergeant-major of artillery so an inspector of fortifications. After leaving the ground forces he specialised in the publication of books describing both scientific and practical aspects of military engineering.
He is best known, however, for the compendious "Clarification De 50'Univers", a five volume geographical, cosmographic and historical piece of work, which included maps of all known parts of the world. First published in 1683 with French text, a second German language edition followed in 1684 in Frankfurt with the addition of German titles to the maps, simply outside the printed border.
The miniature maps are highly distinctive: pocket-sized picturesque engravings which combine decorative elements with an unusual caste of detail.
His major publications were Clarification de 50'Univers (1683) in 5 volumes, and Les Travaux de Mars ou 50'Fine art de la Guerre (1684) in 3 volumes.
