Description
Claudius Ptolemaeus (after 83-168). Ulm: Johann Reger, 1486. Woodcut map with original hand color in full. 16 x 22 1/4 inches sheet. Fine woodcut map of the classical perception of India, showing the Indus and Ganges rivers in the north, but with a much curtailed southern peninsula, with exceptionally fine hand color in full. The Ulm editions were the first to depart from the classical prototype by expanding the atlas to reflect post-antique discoveries about the size and shape of the earth.
