This rare map of Sicily depicts, as the title suggests, "almost all of the places, rivers, castles, etc. and new diverse observations." The island is divided into three regions and depicts a large, flaming Mount Etna. The map is embellished with a legend in a drape-style cartouche, three compass roses, and a decorative title cartouche supporting the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily.

References: Pastoureau, Duval II D [58].
