[Strasbourg, 1522].. Original double-page Ptolemaic woodcut map of Pakistan and Western India (39 x 47.5 cm) on a trapezoidal projection, from Lorenz Fries' edition of Ptolemy's Geographi. Latin text to verso, along with two woodcut initials, and decorative woodcut borders, fortified along centre-fold with a strip of manuscript (13th century?) on parchment written in Latin in a neat textura rotunda script. Lightly toned and with some minor marginal dampstaining not affecting map, overall an attractive and early map. The map is derived from an earlier version of 1513 by Martin Waldseemuller.

Vienne, Gaspar Treschel, 1541. Woodcut, 30 x 46 cms, black and white, slight toning at centrefold, Latin text on verso; a Ptolemaic map of Asia Minor. Lorenz Fries' slightly reduced versions of Martin Waldseemüller’s maps were engraved for a new edition of Ptolemy’s Geographia published by the Strasbourg printer Johann Grüninger in 1522 and 1525; after Grüninger’s death the blocks passed to the Treschel brothers, Melchior and Gaspar, who reprinted them in Lyons with a revised text in 1535. The revisions to Wilibald Pirkheimer’s translation were made by the polymath Spanish theologian, physician and humanist Michael Servetus, also known as Michel de Villeneuve, who was burned for heresy in Geneva in 1553. Our example is from the final edtion, published by Gaspar Treschel alone in Vienne, Isère, to be sold by Hugues de la Porte in Lyons. Map

[Strasbourg, 1535].. Original woodcut Ptolomaic map of the Arabian Peninsula (36 x 52 cm) with later hand-colouring; Latin title, text, and additional woodcut decorations to verso. The map is presented on a trapezoidal projection with parallels and meridians (forerunners of lines of longitude and latitude) enumerated in the borders. Minor reinforcements to verso on centre fold and along edges (invisible to recto), three miniscule wormholes to upper portion, generally a very handsome copy. An important early map of the Arabian Peninsula from the 1535 edition of Lorenz Fries' Geographia, itself based upon the works of Claudius Ptolemy. Originally intended not for a Ptolemy edition but for a new Chronica Mundi being written by Martin Waldseem�ller, whose death c.1520 caused the project to be shelved.
