About this Item
Strasbourg: Johann Schott, 1513. Woodcut map (17 ¾ x 21 inches) of PAKISTAN and NORTHWEST INDIA showing the Ganges and Indus Rivers, including segmented borders with Ptolemaic climate and parallel zones. Condition: small worm-holes near Indus delta and lower image border. From the first modern atlas: "Geographia Opus Novissima," prepared by Martin Waldseemuller using the translation of Mathias Ringmann. One of the most important editions of Ptolemy, supported by Duke René and later the Strasbourg lawyers Aeszler and Uebelin who financed the cutting of the new woodblocks from Waldseemüller's drawings. With their help, the types and equipment of the St. Dié press were transported in 1510 to Strasbourg, where Schott opened a printing shop. Schott used the same types in Strasbourg as had been used for the 1507 "Cosmographia Introductio" and later used the original St. Dié pressmark as well (KARROW). Seller Inventory # 6BD0052
