CAMOCIO, Giovanni Francesco
Giovanni Francesco Camocio published in the early 1560s a number of maps that were drawn by Forlani, including maps of the World,
North Atlantic, Africa, France, Switzerland, and provinces of the Low Countries,
to note but a few.
Circa 1570, Camocio published an Isolario, or
collection of maps of islands, principally from the Mediterranean,
but including the British Isles and Iceland. Camocio's earliest issues
lacked a title-page, and tended to be a relatively random selection from
the available stock.
Later he added a title Isole Famose Porti, Fortezze
E Terre Maritime. After his death, which is assumed to have been
in 1573, the plates were reprinted, with a title-page bearing the Bertelli
family address 'alla Libraria del Segno di S. Marco', possibly by Donato
Bertelli, whose imprint is found on a later state of Camocio's world map
of 1560.
