[Illustration: Armillary Sphere. _From Blagrave, Mathematical Jewel, 1585_] Chapter XI Globes of the Second Half of the Seventeenth Century Certain striking tendencies exhibited in the matter of globe making in this period.--The Gottorp globes.--Weigel’s globes.--Carlo Benci.--Amantius Moroncelli.--Castlemaine’s immovable globe.--The armillary of Treffler.--Armillary sphere of Gian Battista Alberti.--The numerous globes of P. Vincenzo Coronelli.--Certain anonymous globes of the period.--Joannes Maccarius.--Jos. Antonius Volpes.--Vitale Giordani.--George Christopher Eimmart.--Giuseppe Scarabelli.--Giovanni Battista.--Joseph Moxon.--The Chinese globes of Peking. Among the globes constructed in the second half of the seventeenth century there were none which surpassed in scientific value, if indeed any equaled, those sent out from the workshops of the Netherland masters in the first half. The work of P. Vincenzo Coronelli, the Venetian monk, crowns the period. His abilities were of a high order, and entitle him to a place among the world’s great map and globe makers, but the traces of his influence seem not to be so pronounced as were those of his immediate northern predecessors.
