About This Item
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 Waldseemüllers maps were engraved for a new edition of Ptolemys Geographia published by the Strasbourg printer Johann Grüninger in 1522 and 1525; after Grüningers 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 Pirkheimers 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
