157418848Venetia Venice Giordano Ziletti 1574-73. 4to. Hcalf from ab 1820. Gilt back. Slight rubbing to spine. 78350 pp. and 65 double-page engraved maps with text on verso of plates 130 pp5665 pp. 6 textlvs. at end with brownspots in right margin sometimes a little browning to pages few brownspots and a few textlvs. with minor wormtracts. Complete with all 65 maps called for each measuring ab. 19 x 26 cm. A great part of the maps have some background shadowing from the printers ink mainly due to the fact that this is the third Ruscelli-edition where the plates have been used before. 3 printer's wood-cut devices and 20 smaller and larger woodcuts in the text. 2 woodcuts with Ptolemy shown observing. <br/><br/><em>Third edition of Ruscelli's translation from Venice 1561. The maps are printed from the same plates with the exception of Ptolemy's map of the world for which Malomba had returned to the original conical projection of Ptolemy. Moreover one map is added: the map of "Territorio di Roma". In general the maps are enlarged copies of Gastaldi's maps from the edition of 1548 which came out in 8vo. The Ruscelli translation contains an important innovation namely the division of the world map into two parts one for the Old World and one for the New as seen on the plate "Tavola Universal" depicting the 2 hemispheres. The atlas contains 27 ptolemaic maps and 38 new. 1 World 1 Hemisphere 10 Europe 4 Africa 12 Asia and 38 others. 10 of the maps relate to America.Philipps I:380. Sabin 66505.

Spine and part of the covers with some darkening apparently as an antiquing effect but the binding completely solid and entirely harmless. Intermittent faint dampstain at various places on the page though the vast majority of leaves unaffected map of British Isles with very small repaired hole caused by acidic paint only visible if you look for it bottom margin of three maps and one left margin of another neatly reinforced a handful of margins a bit smudged other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy internally the paper remarkably strong and fresh and with virtually none of the signs of use so often seen with early atlases.<br/> <br/> Because of its innovative size its extensive use of copper engravings instead of woodcuts its introduction of nearly three dozen modern maps and especially its new images of the Americas this is a landmark cartographical publication--and the copy we offer is an extremely rare example of the work enriched with full contemporary hand coloring. It is the first complete printing in Italian following Berlinghieri’s verse paraphrase of 1482 of Ptolemy's universally recognized atlas of the classical world and much more important it is the first version of the work small enough to be practicably carried by hand or in a purse or pocket. In addition although a very small number of earlier atlases exist with copper engravings no previous one is engraved to the extent seen here with five dozen double-page maps presenting dramatically finer detail for example in more refined coastlines and more cleanly realized decorative elements than was possible with images cut from wood. As Nordenskiold notes our 1548 edition was a kind of rediscovery of the virtues of the intaglio cartographic image with no engraved atlas having been printed in the 16th century before ours. In terms of content of central importance here are first engraved maps of parts of North and South America providing legitimacy to Nordenskiold's characterization of our work as "the very first atlas of the New World." There are seven major America-related cartographical achievements in our Pedrezano edition five of them being the modern World map map 59; the other world map "Carta marina" which is the first sea chart depicting the modern world map 60; "Tierra nova" the first separate map of the South American Continent map 54; "Nueva Hispania" the earliest separate map of the Gulf Coast Mexico and the present American Southwest map 55; and "Tierra nueva" the earliest individual map of the east coast of North America from north Florida to Labrador map 56 showing the discoveries of Giovanni da Verrazzano and Jacques Cartier. These last three plus a map of Cuba and one of Hispaniola represent the earliest printed American regional maps. Beyond the American images the 1548 "Geografia" also includes an atypically exo-European eclecticism highlighted by what is apparently the first separate map of the Indian peninsula along with the first separate map devoted to Arabia and the first reference to Singapore on a printed map. The maps were the work of Giacomo Gastaldi ca. 1500 - 1566 Cosmographer to the Venetian Republic and the most prominent Italian cartographer of the period known especially for keeping up to date with the latest geographical discoveries and incorporating them into his maps. While 26 of the 60 maps are based on Ptolemy distinctive here and in other editions within their trapezoidal frames the greater number 34 are the modern work of Gastaldi. The book is consequently one of the very best examples of the integration of the period's Age of Discovery with the groundwork laid by Classical writers. Gastaldi was also responsible for updating and adding modern place names an enormous undertaking as is reflected in the 127-page index here. The history of world exploration owes an immeasurable debt to Claudio Tolomeo ca. 90 - ca. 168 AD who included in his "Geografia" what was known about the geography of the world during the Roman Empire of his lifetime and except for some excavated carved maps Ptolemy's are essentially all we have as a source for the world trodden by the ancients. Manuscripts of his work are known to date as early as ca. 1300 and there were multiple 15th century printings. But all incunabular editions were very large books volumes to be beheld rather than be held and used in any portable context. Waldseemuller's 1513 Strassburg edition was just as weighty. By contrast our edition offered its owner a much more practical format and yet because of its broadening world of 60 maps it was nevertheless the most comprehensive atlas--and the most important one--published between Waldseemuller's and the monumental Ortelius "Theatrum" of 1570. Copies of the 1548 Ptolemy appear on the market from time to time though they typically are beset with condition problems. What seems never to appear--at least so far as we've been able to ascertain--are copies of the book with contemporary coloring. Surely even with a small format atlas issued for functional purposes there must have been copies that were colored on occasion. The Morgan Library does own a copy--apparently once possessed by Marie de Medici--that is colored and it is possible that such copies silently reside in other admittedly sometimes very brief records of institutional holdings but we were unable to find any evidence of such. Likewise and perhaps more telling we were unable to find any copies with period color in auction records which certainly would have prominently announced such an important feature. The Streeter copy and the Wardington copy for example were uncolored. In sum this is a cartographic work of signal importance in especially attractive condition with no small amount of charm in its maps' various real and imagined inhabitants and offered in a colored state that seems virtually never to appear for sale.

Text in Italian. Bookplate of Otto Orren Fisher pasted on inside cover. Manuscript note in ink on title page reads: Ex Libris Stephan Tiapas.<br/> <br/> Second edition of Ruscelli's Italian translation very similar to the edition of 1561 and containing the same series of maps. The double- page maps are partly based on those of Jacopo Gastaldi in the edition of 1548 but on a larger scale. According to Nordenskiold two important innovations were introduced by the 1561 edition into cartographical literature. One: the division of the Map of the World in two hemispheres. Two: The re-issue of the Zeno Map of the Arctic Regions which had appeared first 3 years before. "If the remarkable map in this little work had not received extensive circulation under the sanction of Ptolemy's name it would probably have been forgotten. During nearly a whole century it exercised an influence on the mapping of the northern countries to which there are few parallels in the history of cartography".<br> <br> 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. He includes 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 has 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. 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. Sabin 66504<br/> <br/> Giordano Ziletti unknown
