unbound. Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" This scarce 1564 map of Sicily, Sardinaa, and Malta from Girolamo Ruscelli's "La Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino" is one of the earliest earliest obtainable modern maps of Sicily, Sardinia, and Malta. Based on Giacomo Gastaldi's 1548 map, it depicts detailed topographical and geographical features, including cities, towns, ports, mountain ranges, rivers, and forested areas. Notable elements include an erupting Mount Etna on Sicily and a wild mountain goat in Sardinia. The map's depiction of these regions, including parts of the western coast of Italy and numerous smaller islands, showcases remarkable detail for the period. The map is in good condition with minor toning along the centerfold. Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) was an Italian cartographer, humanist, scholar, and polymath from Viterbo. He was educated at the University of Padua and spent his career between Rome, Naples, and later Venice. Ruscelli was a prolific writer and editor, contributing to a wide array of subjects including Italian literature, medicine, alchemy, and military science. He is best known for his revision of Ptolemy's Geographia, published posthumously in 1574. His edition featured newly engraved maps based on those by Giacomo Gastaldi for the 1548 Venice atlas. These maps marked a significant advancement in cartography, reintroducing the use of copper engraving, which allowed for greater detail. Ruscelli's atlas editions, published multiple times between 1561 and 1599, were among the most comprehensive of their time and helped define the known geography of the world for decades.

Incisione in rame, dipinta a mano, mm 190x263. Affascinante carta geografica raffigurante le isole di Sardegna e Sicilia secondo il modello Gastaldino.Tratta dall'edizione veneziana della "Geographia" di Tolomeo curata da Ruscelli. La carta Ë basata su quella di Gastaldi del 1548 pubblicata nella sua edizione della "Geografia" di qualche anno prima. Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) nasce a Viterbo ed Ë un importante scrittore ed editore, che dopo aver studiato a Padova trascorse la propria carriera fra Roma e Napoli, dove morÏ.Tolomeo, il pi? grande cartografo dell'antichit?, pubblicÚ La Geografia nel 150 d.C.; nel medioevo sopravvisse, grazie alla mediazione araba, manoscritta in greco e fu poi tradotta in latino da Jacopo D'Angelo; da inizio Quattrocento acquisÏ sempre pi? notoriet? e nel 1477 fu pubblicata a Bologna la prima edizione illustrata a stampa comprendente solo carte del mondo antico, immediatamente seguita da altre edizioni nel 1478, -80, -82 che gi? presentavano alcune carte del mondo moderno. Con il susseguirsi delle edizioni, si incrementÚ il numero delle carte moderne consci che il mondo fosse ben diverso da quello di Tolomeo, fino a giungere alla celebre edizione del 1513 di Waldseemueller, il primo atlante moderno, composto da 20 carte nuove oltre alle antiche. Nel corso del XVI secolo ed oltre vennero poi editate numerose edizioni fra cui quelle curate da Ruscelli, le cui carte moderne sono quelle di Gastaldi del 1548 in versione ingrandita. Ottimo esemplare in bella coloritura nello stile tolemaico, con interessante e curioso testo descrittivo in italiano al verso. Nr.cat: p2060038. Seller Inventory # 13248
