Engraving of 263x200 mm and margins. Nice copy.
Beautiful map of Ptolemaeus engraved by Ruscelli. Representation of the ancient portion of Asian land between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The territory represented today is occupied by southern Russia, Georgia, part of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The peculiarity of these maps is that two are engraved per plate and subsequently cut; this is the reason why the copper sign appears only on three sides of the map.
