"Ptolemäisch general Tafel begreiffend die halbe kugel der weldt"

Hand-colored woodcut

Published in "Cosmographia" by Sebastian Muenster (1488-1552)

German edition

Basel, 1553

Muenster based this rendering of "half the globe of the earth" on Ptolemy's rendering. Ptolemy accounted for the knowledge of the geography of the earth of the second century A.D. Muenster, who had advanced knowledge, published the Ptolemean view to show the development. And indeed, at the time of printing his "Cosmographia" America was discovered and partially surveyed, and the closer to reality shapes of the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa had happened. So Muenster proudly published these "world maps" to show progress.

Very nice condition. Margins with some thumb soiling in lower corners deriving from turning pages.

Reverse side has title and translation of Latin explanatory words on one half of map.

Jerusalem is marked with a cross as the center of the "world map". The map was designed by the cartographer Pietro Vesconte. His life dates are unknown. He was a Genovese (from Genua) and went to Venice where he was the first ever to publish portolan maps. Marino Sanudo the elder (1260-1338) was a Venetian geographer and influential politician, who is known to have promoted crusades to liberate Jerusalem and Palestine from Moslem rule. He used this very interesting map in his book ãLiber Secretorum Fidelium Crucis", which was guide for crusaders. First published in 1306/07. The book had a second edition in 1321, in which this map was published.

Copper etching from " A Gentleman's Recreation"
by Richard Blome (active 1669-1705). Published in 1678.
Fine modern hand coloring.

Here we have a fine abstraction from what we are used to when looking at world maps. This one is embedded into BlomeÔs idea of "Geography", a playful assembly of bits and pieces relating to measuring the world nearby and as a whole. The two-globe world map in the center shows California as an island, welcomed by collectors of this particularity in map making. At the bottom we find ourselves looking into a globe makerÔs workshop. An interesting and in more than one way special piece!
