Some minimal discrete paper repairs to upper portion of centrefold generally a very good copy. Early Ptolemaic woodblock map of the Arabian Peninsula here called Arabia Felix. The map is presented on a trapezoidal projection with parallels and meridians forerunners of lines of longitude and latitude enumerated in the borders. The map shows the Arabian Peninsula wider in the southeast and shows a somewhat distorted shape for the Arabian Gulf. Details include topography the major towns while the rivers and many islands are imaginary. This map is based on the slightly larger map from 1513 published in "Ptolemy's Geographia". The atlas was reprinted in 1520 1522 1525 1535 and 1541. This wood block was cut in 1525 for the publisher J.Grünninger.

Bookplate of Otto Orren Fisher and ink inscription of Charles Singer.<br/> <br/> Giuseppe Moleto Josephus Moletius 1531-1588 was an Italian mathematician who based the text of this edition on the 1525 translation by Wilibald Pirckheimer. Moleto's draws upon Ruscelli's enlarged maps of his 1561 edition which in turn were based upon those by Jacopo Gastaldi. Moleto has also included some of Girolamo Ruscelli's innovations from his own edition: the double hemisphere world map and "Carta Marina Nuova Tavola" a rare sea chart of the world. Also from Ruscelli is a revised version of the Zeno map of the Arctic first published in 1558. The Zeno map describes the purported journey of the author's ancestors in the 1390s to Greenland Iceland the mythical islands of Frisland and Icaria and what is now thought to be Newfoundland and Labrador. While Zeno shows Greenland connected to Norway Ruscelli updated the map by eliminating this land bridge. Despite its inaccuracies and inclusion of mythical lands the Zeno map persisted as the prevailing map of the Arctic and Greenland for many years. Six other New World maps include the South American continent Brazil Central America and the Baja Peninsula the eastern coast of North America Cuba and Hispaniola. Moleto juxtaposes the Ptolemaic maps with the contemporary offering easy comparison between ancient and new. 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. During the Renaissance revival of Greek and Roman works "Geographia" was rediscovered by monks and based upon Ptolemy's detailed instructions the maps were recreated. The first printed edition of "Geographia" with maps was published in Bologna in 1477. A rare and exciting edition for any collector.<br/> <br/> Vincenzo Valgrisi unknown
