Father Vincenzo Coronelli was a Venetian map and globe maker. He was also a minorite friar at San Nicolo della Lattuga, later at Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, and Doctor of Theology at Collegium Santo Bonaventura Rome, 1673. Coronelli became Cosmographer to the Republic of Venice 1685, and had founded the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti at Venice the year earlier. From 1681-1683 he worked in Paris on a pair of 3.85 meter diameter globes for Louis XIV. He then returned to Italy to set up a globe-making working in the convent in Venice, 1686. He produced various globes and maps at his convent until his death.
