Hardcover. Folio (16 4/8 x 12 inches). Vignette title-page, reproducing 27 maps of the Codex Ebnerianus, a manuscript of Ptolemy's 'Geography' at the New York Public Library, prepared by Donnus Nicolaus Germanus, the Ruysch map of the world from the 1508 printed edition, and Laurent Fries' "new" world map from 1522, other illustrations in the text. Original publisher's half calf, cloth, gilt. Limited issue, number 157 of 250 numbered copies. Ptolemy's 'Geographia' was a compilation of what was known about the world's geography in the Roman Empire during his time (ca 90-168 ad). He relied on the work of others, in particular an early geographer, Marinos of Tyre, and on gazetteers of the Roman and ancient Persian Empire. He was a Roman citizen of Egypt who wrote in Greek. He was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet (of a single epigram in the Greek Anthology). He lived in Egypt under Roman rule, and is believed to have been born in the town of Ptolemais Hermiou in the Thebaid. He died in Alexandria. The earliest known manuscripts of Ptolomy's "Geographia" date to about 1300. The first printed version was published in 1477, then 1488, and in Ulm in 1482.
