[Anno MCCCCLXXXII augusti vero kalendas XVII impressum Ulme per ingeniosum virum Leonardum Hol. (Ulm, Lienhart Holle, 16 luglio 1482)]. Foglio del "Tolomeo di Ulm" (prima edizione, del 16 luglio) recante la carta geografica della penisola indocinese impressa in xilografia a doppia pagina su una facciata e il relativo testo descrittivo, stampato su una pagina dell'altra facciata. Il foglio misura mm. 401x523; l'immagine, misura, al filetto esterno della xilografia, mm. 380x300 (nel punto più corto in larghezza) e mm. 380x372 (nel punto più lungo in larghezza). Coloritura a mano originale. Sulla xilografia sono visibili delle ossidazioni dovute alla presenza al verso del foglio d'una cornice e d'una iniziale a stampa miniate con un colore verde che col tempo ha ossidato la carta. Nel 1482 Lienhart Holle pubblicò ad Hulm una edizione della Geografia di Tolomeo basata sulle carte di Nicolaus Germanus (c. 1420 - c. 1490) che aveva prodotto a Firenze una serie di magnifici atlanti manoscritti su pergamena negli anni 60 e 70 del Quattrocento. Il modello sul quale furono esemplate le carte di Hulm fu l'atlante manoscritto che Nicolaus aveva offerto al papa Paolo II e che pare fosse stato inviato appositamente in Germania (senza essere mai più rispedito a Roma: è conservato allo Schloss Wolfegg). L'edizione di Ulm è il primo atlante pubblicato a Nord delle Alpi e il primo con le carte impresse in xilografia (i due incunaboli precedenti della Geografia di Tolomeo - Bologna 1477 e Roma 1478 - recavano carte incise in rame). L'incisore delle xilografie fu probabilmente Johann Schnitzer di Armsheim (il planisfero reca la sua firma). Una delle mappe più ricercate della penisola indocinese, la terza in assoluto, in ordine di tempo, che sia stata impressa in un atlante a stampa. Per quanto riguarda il Tolomeo stampato ad Ulm cfr. Gof P1084; HC *13539; BMC II 538; IC.9309; Schreiber 5031; Sabin 66472; Nordenskiold Collection II, 199.Sheet of "Ptolemy of Ulm" (first edition, July the 16th, 1482) bearing the geographical map of the Indochinese peninsula printed in double-page woodcut on one side and the relative descriptive text, printed on one page of the other side. The sheet measures mm. 401x523; the image measures, to the external fillet of the woodcut, mm. 380x300 (at the shortest point in width) and mm. 380x372 (at the longest point in width). Original hand coloring. On the woodcut you can see some oxidations due to the presence on the back of the sheet of a frame and of an initial illuminated with a green color that over time has oxidized the paper. In 1482 Lienhart Holle published in Hulm an edition of Ptolemy's Geography based on the maps of Nicolaus Germanus (c. 1420 - c. 1490) who had produced in Florence a series of magnificent handwritten atlases on parchment in the 1460s and 1470s. The model on which Hulm's maps were patterned was the manuscript atlas that Nicolaus had offered to Pope Paul II and which seems to have been specially sent to Germany (without ever being sent back to Rome: it is kept at Schloss Wolfegg). The Ulm edition is the first atlas published north of the Alps and the first with the maps printed in woodcut (the two previous incunabula of Ptolemy's Geography - Bologna 1477 and Rome 1478 - had copper engraved maps). The engraver of the woodcuts was probably Johann Schnitzer of Armsheim (the planisphere bears his signature). One of the most sought after maps of the Indochinese peninsula, the third ever, in order of time, which has been imprinted in a printed atlas.

Frisches und sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar in gutem Zustand mit Original-Schutzumschlag. - Englisch. - Claudius Ptolemäus (altgriechisch Klaúdios Ptolemaíos, lateinisch Claudius Ptolomaeus; * um 100, möglicherweise in Ptolemais Hermeiou, Ägypten; † nach 160, vermutlich in Alexandria) war ein griechischer Mathematiker, Geograph, Astronom, Astrologe, Musiktheoretiker und Philosoph. Er lebte in Alexandria in der römischen Provinz Ägypten. Insbesondere seine drei Werke zur Astronomie, Geografie und Astrologie galten in Europa bis zur frühen Neuzeit als wissenschaftliche Standardwerke und wichtige Datensammlungen. Das geographische Werk hatte 561/62 noch Cassiodor in der Hand, doch erst mit der lateinischen Übersetzung einer Abschrift aus Konstantinopel, die in Florenz ab 1397 erfolgte, wurde die Geographike Hyphegesis wieder rezipiert. Ptolemäus verfasste die mathematiké sýntaxis ("mathematische Zusammenstellung"), später megíste sýntaxis ("größte Zusammenstellung"), heute Almagest genannte Abhandlung zur Mathematik und Astronomie in 13 Büchern. Dieses Werk blieb bis zum Ende des Mittelalters das Standardwerk der Astronomie im europäischen Raum. Es enthielt neben einem ausführlichen Sternenkatalog eine detaillierte Ausarbeitung des geozentrischen Weltbilds, die später nach ihm ptolemäisches Weltbild genannt wurde. … (wiki) // INHALT : List of Illustrations - Preface - Note on Citations of Classical Authors - Introduction - What Ptolemy Expected His Reader to Know - The Place of the Geography in Ptolemy's Work - Ptolemy's Evolving Conception of the World - Marinos and Other Sources - Ptolemy's Map Projections and Coordinate Lists - The Manuscripts of the Geography - The Maps in the Manuscripts - Early Readers and Translators - Modern Editions and Translations of the Geography - Our Translation - Ptolemy, Guide to Drawing a Map of the World - Book 1 - Book 2 - Book 7 - Book 8 - Plates and Maps - Notes on the Plates and Maps - Plates 1-7 following p. 128 - Maps 1-8 - Appendices - Appendix A: The Journeys of Flaccus and Maternus to the Aithiopians - Appendix B: Marinos' Calculation of the Latitude of Cape Prason - Appendix C: The Trade Route across Central Asia - Appendix D: The Breadth of the Mediterranean According to Marinos and Ptolemy - Appendix E: The Sail to Kattigara - Appendix F: The Miscellaneous Criticisms of Marinos' Data - Appendix G: Textual Notes - Appendix H: Geographical Index - Bibliography - Index.
