Description
This is a very nice Ptolemaic map of northern Africa, including Malta. Stipple engraved sea. The interior is engraved with mountains, two large lakes, many rivers and a forest. The map covers north the present day Algieria, Tunisia and Libya to south to the Gulf of Guinea, with the map seemingly compressed north-south vs. east-west. Italian text on verso. From Ruscelli's third edition of his translation of La Geografia... published by Ziletti.
