Ptolemy, pub. 1562 - Map of Candia, Crete
This early map engraving is Joseph Moleti (Giseppi Moleti [Moletius])'s edition of Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy)'s Geographia. This is the first Moleti Latin edition of the work and was published by Vincenzo Valgrisi in 1562 in Venice. Many of the maps are after Giacomo Gastaldi's work.
This work is considered a later published ediiton of Ptolemy (Ptolemaeus)’s Geographia. The work was considered one of the most influential cartographic accounts of the ancient world and served as inspiration for all Renaissance mapmakers. He compiled what was known of the world's geography in the Roman Empire during his time (circa 90-168 AD). Ptolemy was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet. The earliest known manuscripts of Geographia date to 1300 and was first printed in 1477.
The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
