rif. 11329Venice: 1596-98. No binding. Good. Two maps 135 x 175 mm. each set on a leaf of text 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 France with that of Germany 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.
