In den WarenkorbVery good. Bears University of California Library Stamp, from which it was deaccessioned, in lower right quadrant. Blank on verso. Size 15.5 x 13 Inches. This is a fascinating and beautiful 1831 example of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge or S.D.U.K. map of ancient Egypt. Centered on the Nile River Delta, the ma…p covers Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula and part of Arabia and the Red Sea. Several ancient towns and oases along the Nile are noted. The map also contains numerous interesting cartographic annotations. Several notes are included throughout regarding the absence of ancient places and names mentioned on the map. Possibly this map's most interesting aspect is its speculative presentation of the ancient Lake Moeris, now just a small lake called Birket Qarun, and the legendary 'Labyrinthus site unknown'' near modern day Hawara. The lost Labyrinth was described by many classical authors including Herodotus, Strabo, Diodorus and Pliny. A sprawling megalithic complex designed by Imandes for the Pharaoh Amenemhet III, the Labyrinth is believed to have contained thousands of rooms filled with hieroglyphs and ancient Egyptian sculptures. Herodotus wrote about it in the fifth century B.C.: Furthermore, they resolved to leave a memorial of themselves in common, and in pursuance of this resolve they made a labyrinth, a little above Lake Moeris, and situated near what is called the City of the Crocodiles. I saw it myself and it is indeed a wonder past words; for if one were to collect together all of the buildings of the Greeks and their most striking works of architecture, they would all clearly be shown to have cost less labor and money than this labyrinth. Yet the temple at Ephesus and that in Samos are surely remarkable. The pyramids, too, were greater than words can tell, and each of them is the equivalent of many of the great works of the Greeks; but the labyrinth surpasses the pyramids also. It has 12 roofed courts, with doors facing one another, 6 to the north and 6 to the south and in a continuous line. There are double sets of chambers in it, some underground and some above, and their number is 3,000; there are 1,500 of each. We ourselves saw the aboveground chambers, for we went through them so we can talk of them, but the underground chambers we can speak of only from hearsay. For the officials of the Egyptians entirely refused to show us these, saying that there were, in them, the coffins of the kings who had built the labyrinth at the beginning and also those of the holy crocodiles. So we speak from hearsay of these underground places; but what we saw aboveground was certainly greater than all human works. The passages through the rooms and the winding goings-in and out through the courts, in their extreme complication, caused us countless marvelings as we went through, from the court into the rooms, and from the rooms into the pillared corridors, and then from these corridors into other rooms again, and from the rooms into other courts afterwards. The roof of the whole is stone, as the walls are, and the walls are full of engraved figures, and each court is set round with pillars of white stone, very exactly fitted. At the corner where the labyrinth ends there is, nearby, a pyramid 240 feet high and engraved with great animals. The road to this is made underground. Such was the labyrinth; but an even greater marvel is what is called Lake Moeris, beside which the labyrinth was built. The circuit of this lake is a distance of about 420 miles, which is equal to the whole seaboard of Egypt. The length of the lake is north and south, and its depth at the deepest is 50 fathoms [300 feet]. That it is handmade and dug, it itself is the best evidence. For in about the middle of the lake stand 2 pyramids that top the water, each one by 50 fathoms [300 feet], and each built as much again underwater; and on top of each there is a huge stone figure of a man sitting on a throne. So these pyramids are 100 fathoms [600.

In den WarenkorbExcellent. Few marginal specks, else a fine, untrimmed example with original color. Size 12 x 22 Inches. Extremely rare. This is a superb example, in rich original color, of one of the earliest printed maps of any part of Africa - this one focusing on the region of Libya and Egypt extending to the Red Sea, according to the secon…d-century knowledge of Claudius Ptolemy. It appeared in the Ulm Ptolemy, the first such work printed north of the Alps, in 1482 and 1486. It presents the first mapping of the region by someone who lived there. Ptolemy's Home Court To Claudius Ptolemy, the source of this map, the subject matter was one he was intimately acquainted with: the Roman African provinces where he lived and worked between 100 and 170 CE. Politically Roman and culturally Greek, the scholar was native to Alexandria in Egypt. Consequently, none of the locations near the Mediterranean or along the lower Nile were strange to him. All these areas, accessible either by boat or Roman road, are well-detailed with place names. The map focuses particularly on the coastal provinces of Cyrenaica, Marmarica, and Aegyptus (Roman Egypt) but reaches southwards just beyond the tropic of Cancer. On The Map The north of the map is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea: here identified with local terms, the Egyptian Sea and the Sea of Libya, or the Punic Sea. The eastern limit of the map is the Red Sea, termed by Ptolemy the Arabian Gulf. Abutting the Arabian Gulf is Roman Egypt, which mainly comprises the Nile River Valley and the lands around the Nile River Delta. Its capital, Alexandria, is noted, and at the time, it was the Roman Empire's largest port and second-largest city. The province, embracing the Lower Nile, is the best-detailed province on the map. West of Egypt is Marmarica - now the Egyptian frontier with Libya. Among its noted locations is Antipyrgus , the ancient Tobruk. The city of Ammon, marked well inland, was situated in the Siwa Oasis and was so named as a sanctuary to the deity Amun. The province Cyrenaica, which corresponds nowadays to the eastern half of Libya, occupies the map's western limit. The coastal region of Pentopolis (which was part of the same Roman province as Crete) is clearly noted. The Harvesting Ground of the First Recorded Extinct Species In the southern part of the province of Cyrenica beyond a mountain range is a forest region labeled 'Silfiofera Regio': this is the 'Silphium-producing land,' of great importance to classical antiquity. Silphium was a plant whose broad utility - seasoning, perfume, contraceptive, aphrodisiac - made it a vital cash crop worth its weight in silver. Such was its local importance that Cyrenian coins bore a picture of the plant. During the Roman administration of the province, Silphium went extinct - either due to Roman overharvesting of the valuable crop or by desertification in Cyrenaica. Whatever the cause, this was the first extinction of a plant or animal species in recorded history. (Legend has it that Emperor Nero devoured the last stalk, during the century prior to Ptolemy's work.) Despite the recent discovery of a plant in Turkey exhibiting many of the qualities of the ancient plant, no samples of the original Silphium survive, so it is impossible to conclusively identify modern Ferula Drudeana as the lost plant. The First Woodcut Ptolemy The Ulm Ptolemy was the first such work to be printed from woodblocks: the early Italian Ptolemies were printed from copperplates. The printer of the 1482 edition, Lienhart Holle, went into ruinous debt producing the book - not least due to this Ptolemy being the only one of the period to consistently receive hand coloring at the time of publication. The palette of this example is consistent with that which we have seen for examples of the 1486 edition of the work. The Definitive 15th century Ptolemy The source for the Ulm Ptolemy - and indeed, for all but one of the fifteenth-century printed Ptolemies - was Donnus Nicolaus Germanus (c.?1420.
