rif. 10520Amsterdam: R & J Wetstenii & G Smith. 1578-1730. No binding. Very Good. 340 x 400 mm. recent wash colour in good condition. Gerard Mercator's edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography' is highly acclaimed; he spent much of his life studying the work and even engraved the plates himself. The 'Geographia' is the earliest surviving geographical treatise. Much of Mercator's efforts were spent projecting Ptolemy's geography onto the projection which bears his name. Mercator 1512-94 is one of the world's greatest cartographers and the 'Claudii Ptolemaei Tabulae Geographicae Orbis Terrarum' was first published in 1578. This map of the British Isles is in the third state with the addition of a latitude and longitude grid illustrating the projection. Provenance: Doreen Green 1999.

rif. 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.
