[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.

Ptolemy's Geography: An Annotated Translation of the Theoretical Chapters.

2000Frisches 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.

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. 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. 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". 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 Giordano Ziletti unknown books

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. 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.
