Descrizione

PTOLEMAEUS, Claudius (100-170 AD); GASTALDI, Giacomo; MUNSTER, Sebastian (1489-1552). La geografia. Venice: Pedrezano, 1548 (in colophon 1547). First complete Italian edition, translated by Pietro Andrea Mattioli from Sebastian Münster's edition of 1540. This atlas, considered 'the first atlas of the New World' by Nordenskiöld, contains maps drawn by Giacomo Gastaldi. Most of the thirty-four maps of the modern world are completely new, with seven dedicated to the Americas, representing the first series of printed maps of the New World. Prominent among these is the Nueva Hispania tabula nova, illustrating the area of Mississippi and Florida, recognised as the first separate printed map of the region. It also includes the first map of the New England coast and the first separate map of Arabia, as well as the first reference to Singapore on a printed map. This small-format edition of Ptolemy was the most comprehensive world atlas prior to the publication of Ortelius' Theatrum in 1570. 8vo, (172 x 110mm). 60 double-page engraved maps, Ptolemy's portrait on the second leaf, title-page within an engraved border, some illustrations in the text, engraved initials (some light waterstains, most visible in the last part 'tavola de le regioni, genti'). Contemporary vellum binding, spine lettered in manuscript, blue edges, vestigial ties (light wear and minor chipping). (1)
