Firenze, Nicolo Todescho (circa 1478-80) the same, large folio, wanting the map of Palestine, and the last leaf with the Register, bound in oaken boards, partly covered with hogskin, £12. 12s 28113 The maps afford curious indications, so far as they vary from the old Ptolemæan series, of the knowledge of Eastern geography possessed by Europeans in the fifteenth century. Francesco Berlinghieri, a Florentine, contributed greatly to the study of Geography by this popular work in Italian verse. It bears no date, but must have been published about the same time as the Roman Ptolemy of 1478, as the Duke of Urbino, to whom it is dedicated, died in 1482. Indeed it is more than probable that the work of Berlinghieri is entitled to claim precedence before the Ptolemy (as the first collection of Maps printed from copperplates), since the two sets of engravings are very much alike, but the Roman book exhibits a very superior technical finish which evinces the improvement of a later hand. In some respects the Berlinghieri approximates nearer to geographical correctness. The added leaf of Register is mounted to the size of the book in the first of these two copies. 28114 1478 Ptolemy.

The work contains a double series of maps, firstly the reproduction of the old Greek ones which belong properly to the text, and next a set of modern maps which represent the geographical knowledge of the time, and which constitute the importance of the volume as the first dated General Atlas. 28115 1482 Ptolemy.

At the top of the eighth map, which represents North-West Europe, Greenland (Engronelant) is drawn as a large peninsula. This is the first map published on which GREENLAND is depicted.

FIRST EDITION, OF EXTREME RARITY, fine copy, red morocco extra gilt edges, said to be by Roger Payne, from the Beckford library, £36. Venezia, 1490 The authorship of this excessively rare volume is attributed to Luigi Cadamosto, the great voyager and geographer who sailed to the Canaries and other Atlantic Islands and down the West Coast of Africa for the Infante of Portugal (Prince Henry the Navigator-see Mr. Major's valuable work, a masterpiece of geographical history and criticism); and whose name is associated with that of Vespucci in the early editions of the Paesi novamente ritrovati. see BEHAIM in section History of Discovery. 28119 1490-1500 Africa.

It gives us the historical geography of Africa as known to educated Granadan and Moorish Mohammedans about the year 1490.

The letter in which it occurs is dated 12 August, 1507; consequently, there existed at that date a printed map showing the discoveries of Vespucci in the New World, as far as 10 degrees south latitude. As it is quite certain that Ruysch's map was not printed till late in 1507 or the beginning of 1508, at Rome; as the S. Dié map, although designed in 1507, was not finished till 1513; and as, moreover, neither of them corresponds to the mention of the 10 degrees south latitude, we must conclude that a map at present unknown was printed before 1507, exhibiting the new discoveries in the west. 1507 Cosmographiæ Introductio-see under VESPUCCI in section Narratives of Voyagers. 28123 1508 PTOLEMÆI Geographia, latine reddita, correcta a Marco Beneventano et Joanne Costa, folio, THE MAPS ONLY, that of Livonia wanting, water-stained, old calf, £15. Roma, Evangel. Tosinus, 1508 The maps are the same as those in the edition of 1490, with seven new ones added. Among the additional ones is the celebrated map of Johan Ruysch, entitled "Universalior Cogniti Orbis Tabula ex recentibus confecta observationibus." THIS IS THE FIRST ENGRAVED MAP ON WHICH ANY PART of THE TRUE AMERICA WAS SHOWN. Greenland (here attached to the North-East of Asia) is in this map drawn for the first time separated from Europe. A little below Greenland there is a peninsula marked "Terra Nova," which represents perhaps the results of Cabot's voyages. Below this appear Cuba (only half of which is drawn), Spagnola and the other islands. Beneath these again is drawn the north-east corner of South America, entitled "Terra sancte crucis sive Mundus novus." The present is the issue with the "Plisacus Sinus" marked upon the east coast of Asia. 28124 1511 CLAUDII PTHOLEMAEI Alexandrini Liber Geographiæ cum tabulis et universali figura et cum additione locorum quæ a recentioribus reperta sunt, diligenti cura [BERNARDI SYLVANI EBOLIENSIS] emendatus et impressus, roy. folio, title printed in red, 92 leaves, of which the last 30 contain 28 large woodcut maps, with the names printed in red and black upon them, hf. bd. £8. 8s Venetiis, J.

It is three years later than the Roman edition with Ruysch's map which contained the first published delineation of America (South America, Cuba and the islands). The map of the world, which is in the above volume, represents the New World in an extremely curious way. Brazil, a large tract, is called Terra Santa Crucis, and the cartographer evinces acquaintance with the results of Columbus' third voyage, and Vespucci's second and third voyages. The continuity is broken by the margin in consequence of the peculiar plan of the map, so that Cuba and Hispaniola appear next above near their proper places; and far beyond them, at the same degree of latitude as Ireland, an unfinished shore bearing the words "Regalis Domus," indicates the northern continent, while Labrador (Terra Laboratorus) is represented as an island off the coast. THIS IS THE FIRST GRAPHIC RECORD OF THE DISCOVERIES (in 1500) OF CORTE REAL. Greenland (Engronelát) is drawn as a peninsula of north-west Europe. Coming nearer home, it is remarkable that in this book, Scotland is properly drawn for the first time as forming a northern extension of England. It is also remarkable for the manner in which the names are printed on the maps, this having been done by types after the woodcut had been worked off. This is the first instance in which such a method of operation was ever adopted. 28127 1513 PTOLEMEI (Claudii) . . .
