Notes: Errata included. An encyclopedic work on the maritime world, including naval history and voyages of exploration, considered the first naval history; with references to the Americas, Australia and the Pacific. Note: "Opus unica? centuria? contentum, quae in duos libros divisa & partitia est: primus: res in mari, aut circa mare gestas continet ... cum descriptione littorum antiquis cosmographis cognitorum -- secundus: a Constantino Magno ad hanc usque diem res pelago, & in oris gestas complectitur, cum descriptione littorum antiquis incognitorum." Includes a fold out insert of an engraving of a naval battle taking place in an arena - very possibly the Coliseum in Rome which could be flooded for the purpose of mock battles.
