Item description from seller

135 x 170 mm., printed on a leaf of text, light paper imperfection in the text below, otherwise in good condition. A new edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography' was edited by Giovanni Antonio Magini (1555-1617), a noted geographer from Padua. Published in Venice, a second edition appeared in 1598 from which this appears. It contains this Ptolemaic map of the British Isles with that of the Iberian peninsula on the verso. The neatly engraved copper plates are attributed to Girolamo Porro (1520-1604), also from Padua. The atlas was first published in a smaller format in Venice, 1596. It was closely copied in the following year by Petrus Keschedt in Cologne in a work which contained a whole new set of engraved plates. Many references incorrectly state that the two editions contain the same plates. Magini famously produced the first atlas of Italy which was published posthumously by his son Fabio in 1620. Nordenskiöld (1979) no. 227; Nordenskiöld (1889) p. 27; Phillips (1909-) no. 405; Shirley (2004) T.Ptol 12b; Tooley's Dictionary (1999-2004).…
