A copy of the Du Chanteau diagram was auctioned at Manosque last month. Estimate: 2000 to 3000 euros. Not sure what it went for.
Notre exemplaire a la particularité de comporter tout à la fin de la quatrième carte une discrète mention imprimée, faisant référence à un Apothicaire de Bruxelles et à Tycho Brahé, astronome danois, auteur d’un calendrier publié en 1582, qui aurait fortement inspiré du Chanteau.

At the same auction: Khunrath's Mundus Subterraneus (estimate 1500 to 2000 euros).
