Description
MUNSTER, SEBASTIAN Tabula Britanniae.
[Basel: circa 1571]. Woodcut map on laid paper set with a trapezoidal border, paginated 120/121, with signature mark k5 to lower corner, Latin text on verso. Sheet 11 3/4 x 15 inches (30 x 38 cm). Small wormhole above one N in the title, small puncture in left margin, some dust soiling.
A rare Ptolemaic map of the British Isles being a variant of Munster's Europa Tabula I. Uncommon with this title, this issue appeared in copies of Strabo's Geographica published by Heinricus Petrus in 1571. Of note are the two inset listings of ancient populations and cities including "Londinium," the deeply wooded Caledonian forest, the "30 islands" representing the Orkneys, and the apocryphal island of Thule. This variant is not in Shirley.
