An extremely rare octavo atlas by Antonio Zatta (c.1722-1804). Vlademiro Valerio published an article on Italian atlases in ‘The Map Collector’ no. 45 pp. 10-18. In it the author notes the atlas, but the acknowledgements on page 17 state that he was only made aware of its existence after a private individual informed him of it. Zatta was based in Venice and his most renowned work is the four-volume quarto ‘Atlante Novissimo’ published between 1775 and 1785 which was intended to accompany the ‘Nuovo Geografia’. That work was an Italian translation of a geographical treatise by Anton Friedrich Busching. Not in Cremonini (1991); Phillips (1909-) 6044.
