réf. 11760Venice: 1597. No binding. Very Good. 135 x 170 mm. printed on a leaf of text light paper imperfection in the text below otherwise in good condition. A new edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography' was edited by Giovanni Antonio Magini 1555-1617 a noted geographer from Padua. Published in Venice a second edition appeared in 1598 from which this appears. It contains this Ptolemaic map of the British Isles with that of the Iberian peninsula on the verso. The neatly engraved copper plates are attributed to Girolamo Porro 1520-1604 also from Padua. The atlas was first published in a smaller format in Venice 1596. It was closely copied in the following year by Petrus Keschedt in Cologne in a work which contained a whole new set of engraved plates. Many references incorrectly state that the two editions contain the same plates. Magini famously produced the first atlas of Italy which was published posthumously by his son Fabio in 1620.

réf. 5206Utrecht: Francois Halma. 1578-c.1695. No binding. Very Good. 310 x 470 mm. in fine modern wash colour and in good condition. From Gerard Mercator's edition of 'Claudii Ptolemaei Tabulae Geographicae Orbis Terrarum'. It was in 1578 that one of the world's greatest cartographers put out an edition of the earliest surviving geographical treatise. This map shows the northern half of Africa with the equator displayed prominently. The source of the Nile River is also highlighted with a mountain range feeding two large lakes. An interesting feature is the Niger River in 'Libya' which is prominent across the map with its source in numerous lakes. During its course to the sea it disappears under a mountain range arising the other side. Although Mercator is most renowned today for the projection he popularised and for first using the term 'atlas' for a collection of maps he devoted much of his life to his Ptolemaic maps. The maps were beautifully engraved as nearly as possible to their original form and are the most decorative of Ptolemaic maps. Koeman Me 5; Nordenskiold 234; Phillips P.L.
