Pub Note:
Ruscelli's Italian translation from the Greek of Ptolemy's Geographia. The fourth edition of Ruscelli's Ptolemy, revised, enlarged, and edited by Giuseppe Rosaccio, 4 parts in one volume, with 69 engraved double-page uncolored maps, five entirely new maps, including one of the Americas. With various pagination, showing landmarks, rivers, ports, fortifications, major cities and towns, some with decorative cartouches, illustrations of sea monsters and ships. Relief shown pictorially. Bound in full leather covers. Claudius Ptolemy (90-168 CE) was a Roman geographer and mathematician living in Egypt, who compiled his knowledge and theories about the world's geography into one seminal work. Although his maps did not survive, his mathematical projections and location coordinates did. Girolamo Ruscelli (c. 1504-1566) was a Venetian editor, whose maps are primarily based on those by Jacopo Gastaldi (1548) but with many of his own additions and reproduced on a larger scale. Ruscelli introduces several important innovations in this volume through his 37 "modern" maps, which cover Europe, Africa, Asia and the New World. Ruscelli includes a double hemisphere world map, which was the first of its kind to be used in an atlas, and "Carta Marina Nuova Tavola", a rare sea chart of the world.
