151354087Strasbourg. 1513. Originalt tresnitt. Arkets størrelse : 60 cm X 425 cm. Norsk. <br/><br/><em>“Martin Waldseemüller a highly accomplished scholar of geography merged the science of mapmaking and the art of printing in his 1513 atlas one of the most groundbraking documents in the history of cartography. He intended this atlas as a new edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia but included the addition of 20 modern maps which were not based upon the tradition of Ptolemy. Waldseemüller’s use of a quadratic plane projection was also a noteworthy advance.â€Martin Waldseemüller 1470-1520.Liten rift ved nedre marg. Et lite ormehull i venstre marg.

Matching upper and lower with double blind panels gilt floral devices at corners of inner panel. Spine with 4 raised bands abbreviated title in gilt on maroon label in 2 remaining compartments with gilt devices and blind rules. Notes: Translated from Latin into Italian by Leonardo Cernoti Vinitiano.<br>Text in Italian. <br>A fine example of this monumental atlas and treatise on cartography considered to be the most influential cartographic and geographical account of the ancient world originally written by Ptolemy in Greek around 150 AD. <br><br>Claudius Ptolemy c.100 – c.170 AD was a mathematician astronomer astrologer and geographer living in the city of Alexandria then the Roman province of Egypt under Roman rule who wrote a number of scientific treatises that greatly influenced Byzantine Islamic and Western European science. His Geografia written around 150 AD is a thorough discussion on maps and the geographic knowledge of the Greco-Roman world and also serves as a handbook on how to draw maps using geographic coordinates for parts of the Roman world known at the time. Geografia draws from an earlier work by Marinus of Tyre now lost to us as well as various Roman and Persian gazetteers.<br>Geografia is divided into 8 books: book I is a treatise on cartography describing the methods used to assemble and arrange Ptolemy's data; from Book II through the beginning of Book VII a gazetteer provides longitude and latitude values for the world known to the ancient Romans; the rest of book VII provides details on three projections to be used for the construction of a map of the world varying in complexity and fidelity; book VIII constitutes an atlas of regional maps. The maps include a recapitulation of some of the values given earlier in the work which were intended to be used as captions to clarify the map's contents and maintain their accuracy during copying.<br>Geografia was translated into Arabic in the 9th century and Latin around 1406 and was a highly influential resource on the cartographic traditions of the medieval Caliphate and Renaissance Europe.<br><br> Size: Small Folio 301x 206 mm Illustration: Complete with 64 engraved maps 27 Ptolemaic 37 modern including the rare double-page world map “Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio†engraved by Girolamo Porro in addition to 14 in-text illustrations plus title vignette and chapter headpieces.

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.
