Mercator/Hondius/ Jansson	1595 - 1635 Atlas sive Cosmographicae in its 3rd edition onwards included 7 regional maps of England (earlier editions only contained national maps), with a long list of county names in a very ornate cartouche, set in an unnamed North Sea that has pronounced shot-silk shading. 1636 - 1646 The regional maps in Atlas sive Cosmographicae starting with the English edition in 1636, translated by Henry Hexham, use the same plates, but the sea shading is removed, the cartouche is re-engraved in a simpler oval design, some of the county names are spelt differently and the North Sea is named (as Oceanus Septentrionalis). 1607 Atlas Minor Hondius (the elder) published Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris a J. Hondio ... with new smaller plates, copied from the Mercator Atlas - complete with shaded seas but an abbreviated list of counties. This was published 1607 to 1621 in 9 editions (in Latin, French and German); the plates were bought by London Publishers and used in Purchas his Pilgrimes (William Stansby for Henry Featherstone, 1625) and again in Historia Mundi, or Mercator's Atlas (Thomas Cotes for Michael Sparke and Thomas Cartwright 1635; re-issued 1637 & 1639) with an English translation of the folio text of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas (ie not of the Atlas Minor text). The plates were also included unchanged in Robert's Atlas Portatif, Universel et Militaire, published in 1748. 1616 Atlas Minor Hondius (the younger) published Petrii Bertii geographicarum contractarum libri septem with new even smaller plates copied from the 1607 Atlas Minor. This was reprinted in Latin and French in 1618, and in the Camden's Britannia published by Blaue in 1639. 1628 Jan Jansson (the younger) had another set of new plates created for the Atlas Minor, similar in size to the 1607 ones but now with an unshaded sea and a full list of the counties. The longitude is odd - putting London at about 32^o45' east. This Atlas Minor was printed in 9 editions from 1628 to 1651, in Latin, French, German and Dutch. The 1651 edition also added individual county maps, including Essex. These Atlas Minor maps were copied by Pietr van der Aa in his Atlas soulage de son gros et pesant fardeau, 1714, and later reprinted in his Galerie Agreable de Monde, Tome Premier du Grande Bretagne et Irlande, 1728. 1630 Johan Cloppenburg, an Amsterdam bookseller, had a yet another set of plates engraved based on the original 1595 maps, for his "pocket edition" under the title Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas ... De novo ... emendates et Appendice auctus Studio Iudoci Handij. The plates are larger than the earlier Hondius and Jansson ones, being about 190mm x 250mm. The counties are listed in full, and the Atlas was published in 3 editions: French (1630 & 1636) and Latin (1632), each with text on the reverse of the maps. The plates were apparently bought up by Jansson, whose successor Joannes Janssonius van Waesberghe reprinted them in a final edition (without text) in 1673 & 1676. These latest versions had the sea shading removed and a new cartouche engraved around the existing list of county names.
