Pictures show this charming and scarce indeed little mid-18th century miniature map well. Please review them carefully at your leisure so you may clearly see what you are buying.

Borri, L'Italia nell'Antica Cartografia 1477-1799, not noted (!). But almost certainly a variant of his #204 which he dates c. 1750. No mention of this map anywhere within his cartobibliography.
