1562220508Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi 1562. hardcover. very good-. Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi 1562. 2 parts with separate pagination. Short thick 4to bound in 19th century vellum with red edges. Features 64 double page maps: 27 Ptolemaic maps showing the ancient world as Ptolemy knew it including one world map 37 "modern" maps with two world maps and several woodcut diagrams illustrations and decorative initials. Text in Latin. Staining throughout affecting some of the maps. Title page cropped .5" at right margin. 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 books

An exceptional example of this landmark work. Ptolemy's Geographia or Geography first appeared in Greek in Alexandria circa 150 C.E. as a new revision of the now non-extant atlas of Marinus of Tyre using additional Roman and Persian geographical dictionaries and principles. The Geography's translation into Arabic in the 9th century and Latin in 1406 was highly influential on the geographical knowledge and cartographic traditions of the medieval Caliphate and Renaissance Europe. No Greek manuscript of the Geography survives from earlier than the 13th century and the first Latin translations were completed circa 1406 by by Jacobus Angelus in Florence Italy under the name Geographia Claudii Ptolemaei. Published in 1547 the present small-format edition became the most comprehensive world atlas ever published prior to the publication of Ortelius's Theatrum in 1570. G. B. Pedrezano hardcover books
