First edition 1522 (or later):
This map features the Holy Land, Syria, Iraq (i.e. Babylonia), part of Iran (i.e. Mesopotamia), the northern part of Saudi Arabia, southern Turkey and Armenia. In the lower right is the mouth of the Euphrates River leading into the Persian Gulf. In the lower left is the northern portion of the Red Sea. Cyprus is just seen to the west of Syria. Throughout the 16th century a number of reproductions of Ptolemy’s map were made, all under the same title with minor variations.
