Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First. THE FIRST "MODERN" EDITION OF PTOLEMY -- THE DUPONT COPY WITH EXTENSIVE MARGINALIA. Strassbourg: Johann Schott, 1513. First edition. Folio (18 1/2" x 12 1/2", 470mm x 317mm). With 47 woodcut maps by Martin Waldseemüller (all but 2 double-page), the last ("Lotharingia") printed in three colors. Bound in contemporary blind-stamped paneled calf over wooden boards, each cover decorated with alternating rolls of a stag and hunter, and a thistle and bird roll tool, fore-edge lettered in Greek: "??????????" original vellum page-markers; brass catches and clasps and cornerpieces renewed to style by Brockman (report available). Presented in a brown cloth clam-shell box. Recently conserved by Brockman (report available). Lower portion of the title-page renewed with 12 lines of text on verso supplied in manuscript facsimile, lower portion of last leaf renewed, without the final blank leaf, some browning and staining, a few leaves repaired affecting the image in 3 maps: Italy, Switzerland and the Upper Rhineland. With ink marginalia in Greek and Latin. Claudius Ptolemaeus was a second-century philosopher living in Roman Alexandria in Egypt. In the Greek tradition (Ptolemy wrote in Greek, which was the administrative language of the Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean), philosophy -- the love of wisdom -- bridged what we now divide into the humanities and the sciences; he was a mathematician, natural scientist and geographer-astronomer. No manuscripts of the Geographike Hyphegesis (Geographical Guidance) survive from before the XIIIc, but some XIIIc examples survive with maps that bear some relation to those Ptolemy himself drew. Thus, with the exception of some excavated carved maps, Ptolemy is the source for ancient cartography as well as its culmination. Florence was the port of entry for the Greek text in Europe (ca. 1400), and almost immediately it was translated into Latin, which was much more widely understood. Various translations circulated, but Ringmann's is generally regarded as superior to his predecessors'. In the XVc, the Geographia was the core of ancient knowledge of the world, extending from the Canary Islands in the West to China in the East (though not quite to the Pacific), Scandinavia in the North and beyond the Horn of Africa to the South. It was crucial to explorers; Columbus expected to find the East Indies because of Ptolemy's calculations and assertions about longitude. As the world expanded beyond its ancient bounds, discoveries were integrated into the Ptolemaic maps, distinct with their trapezoidal frames. With funding from René II, Duke of Lorraine (which explains the polychromy of the map of Lorraine), Walter Lud, canon in St-Dié-des-Vosges, gathered a group of humanists to knit together the new knowledge coming from Christopher Columbus and other early explorers with a new translation (Ringmann) and new maps (Waldseemüller). Together they revolutionized cartography, and were likely responsible with the coinage of America and a description of the New World. The marginalia extend through the text and the maps. Varying from simple corrections to diagrams (e.g., to B1r) to full paragraphs of commentary, they have been highlighted by no less an authority than Nicolas Barker (sometime head of conservation at the British Library and a member of the Roxburghe Club) as of tremendous importance. They have, nevertheless, eluded attribution -- except to an unusually thorough and well-educated reader (or readers).

Du Pont was a scion of the family famed for its chemical production, though was himself among its more reclusive members. His son "Pete" Du Pont IV was governor of Delaware.

Together they revolutionized cartography, and were likely responsible with the coinage of America and a description of the New World. The provenance of the present copy befits the importance of the work. Sir John Bourne (ca. 1518-1575) was, until the accession of Queen Mary (1553), a rather minor parliamentary figure. Probably due to his support of Mary's claim in the succession crisis, he was knighted, given a manor and elevated to a principal secretaryship on the Privy Council. Having grown quite rich -- he was a founder of the Russia (or Muscovy) Company, perhaps the source of his geographic curiosity -- Bourne was a significant book-collector, and more than a dozen of his volumes (in Greek, Latin and Hebrew) are to be found in institutional libraries. Eight of Bourne's books remain in the collection of York Minster, most having been acquired by Toby Matthew, Archbishop of York. Long afterwards, the book was bought privately by that greatest of all booksellers, A.S.W. Rosenbach, who sold it to Thomas W. Streeter, whose sale of Americana was epochal. Charles W. Traylen -- himself a force among booksellers for some eight decades -- bought the volume at that sale on behalf of Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease, Lord Wardington, in whose collection it remained until his death. His landmark sale of important atlases and geographies in 2006 included some 20 copies of Ptolemy's Geography.

First Edition - Primera edición. México, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2007. 3 volúmenes. En 4º (235 x 160)mm. -I: Facsímil en Latín: ciii-2 láminas plegados en blanco y negro. -II: Traducción del Latín: 147 pp., (5) h. -III: Carpeta con CD y mapa plegado. Facsimil de la edición príncipe de 1507 de la introducción a la cosmografía de Waldseemüller. En 1505, Mathias Ringmann y Martin Waldseemüller se dieron a la tarea de realizar una nueva edición de la Geographia de Ptolomeo que superara a las anteriores y que incluyera la mayor cantidad posible de noticias derivadas de los nuevos descubrimientos geográficos. Por ese tiempo llegó a sus manos un ejemplar del Mundus novus escrito por Américo Vespucio. La lectura de este texto los entusiasmó tanto que, sin abandonar la idea de la nueva edición de la Geographia, se decidió preparar antes un mapamundi. Para facilitar la lectura de este mapa, Martin Waldseemüller escribió la Cosmographiae introdutio y decidió incluir en ella, para dar credibilidad al mapa, la traducción al latín de las Cuatro navegaciones. Hoy, en conmemoración de los 500 años de esta obra, se presenta una edición en español con notas y un estudio introductorio del doctor Miguel León-Portilla. En esta ocasión se incluyen también los facsímiles de la Cosmographiae introductio y el mapamundi de Waldseemüller, tanto en impreso como en versión digital. 235x160mm. (9¼x6¼").

[Innsbruck, 1903] Reprint Amst., 1968. [3],55 pp. 27 double-page b./w. plates (numbered 1-20, 20a, 21-26), 2 synoptical tables of topographical names in Africa and America illustrating the relation of the two maps to several other maps before 1516 & several further reproductions illustrating the 41-page introduction in German with a parallel English translation. Nicely re-bound in modern hardcover (dark blue linen, gilt lettered burgundy red label on the spine). Folio. (Theatrum Orbis Terrarum).A reprint of the facsimile edition of 1903 containing the two monumental wall maps by Martin Waldseemüller (1470-1521), published in 1507 and 1516. Both are reproduced in ca. 1903 from the only surviving copies in the library of Wolfegg Castle in Württemberg. A single copy of the 1507 map survived, presently housed at the Library of Congress in Washington. The Waldseemüller map, Universalis Cosmographia, is a printed wall map of the world by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, originally published in April 1507. It is known as the first map to use the name "America". Its main map, and his globe gores of the same date, depict the American continents in two pieces. These depictions differ from the small inset map in the top border, which shows the two American continents joined by an isthmus. The name America is placed on what is now called South America on the main map, this being the first map known to use this name. As explained in Cosmographiae Introductio, the name was bestowed in honor of the Italian Amerigo Vespucci. The map is drafted on a modification of Ptolemy's second projection, expanded to accommodate the Americas and the high latitudes. [Source: Wikipedia].

Woodcut map, published in the Ptolemy edition by Waldseemüller, 1522 in Strasbourg. Old colored example. One of the earliest woodcut maps of the region Saarland and Lothringen with the neighbouring Luxembourg. Waldseemüller deserves the credit of having designed the oldest map of Lorraine and Westrich. After the death of his patron Duke Rene II, he handed a copy of this map over to his son and successor Anton II (1508-1544) in 1508. This unique piece in the large cartographic complete work was probably also an important reason for the Duke's thanks. In 1514 he gave Waldseemüller a canonical in Saint-Dié. Waldseemüller is considered one of the first scientific specialists among the polyhistorically minded humanists of his time. He built on Ptolemy, but realized that his cartographic worldview was outdated. From map to map, he designed a new worldview by bringing together the geographical knowledge of the Middle Ages with the results of the discoveries of the Portuguese and Spaniards. With the Strasbourg Ptolemy Edition in 1513 he deliberately made a distinction between ancient and modern cartography.Since 2005, the Waldseemüller map has been part of the World Document Heritage as a joint proposal by the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and the German nomination committee for the Memory of the World program. Until 2003, the Waldseemüller card was owned by Prince Johannes zu Waldburg-Wolfegg and Waldsee, located in the Wolfegg Castle library. Since then she has been in the United States of America. Permission to sell the card was granted by the state of Baden-Württemberg and the federal government. Speculum Orbis Ausgabe 4. Jahrgang 1988-1993 Seite 79 In excellent condition.

Sin Encuadernar. Zustand: Como Nuevo. El mapa que cambió la percepción del mundo. Mapamundi mural, de 230 x 130 cm., estampado en 12 hojas de formato 48 x 65 cm., que una vez unidas forman la representación del mundo conocida a principios del siglo XVI. Reproducción FACSIMILAR a tamaño real del mapa planisferio de Walsemuller probablemente la obra más icónica de la historia de la cartografía publicado originariamente en 1507. Fue el primer mapa en emplear el nombre de América para designar al continente recién descubierto, en honor a Americo Vespucio. En la parte superior incluye dos medallones: uno con Asia, África y Europa junto a un retrato de Ptolomeo, y otro con América junto a un retrato de Vespucio. Marcó un hito en su momento pues fue el primero en mostrar América como un continente separado de Asia y el primero en introducir el nombre de América. Se cree que se imprimieron 1000 ejemplares en su momento pero a día de hoy tan solo se conserva un ejemplar en la Biblioteca del Congreso en los Estados Unidos. Esta edición facsímil, realizada en Madrid corrió a cargo del editor e historiador Carlos Sanz.

Uncoloured woodcut; very light age-toning and minor soiling to the margins, otherwise a fine example. Shows the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East from Cyprus to Babylonia. LAOR: 608.

Uncoloured woodcut; slight brown stain in the centrefold, probably oil, well away from printed area, otherwise fine. From the third edition of Ptolemy's geography published at Strassburg, edited by Laurentius Fries. A slightly reduced version of Martin Waldseemüller's map of 1513. The 'modern' map of Asia, with no title, shows part of the Arabian Peninsular, India and the Malaysian Peninsular. The Latin text on the verso is accompanied by a superb woodcut - said to be the work of Albrecht Dürer.

No binding. Zustand: Very good. Strasbourg: Johann Schott, 1513. Woodcut map (17 ¾ x 21 inches) of PAKISTAN and NORTHWEST INDIA showing the Ganges and Indus Rivers, including segmented borders with Ptolemaic climate and parallel zones. Condition: small worm-holes near Indus delta and lower image border. From the first modern atlas: "Geographia Opus Novissima," prepared by Martin Waldseemuller using the translation of Mathias Ringmann. One of the most important editions of Ptolemy, supported by Duke René and later the Strasbourg lawyers Aeszler and Uebelin who financed the cutting of the new woodblocks from Waldseemüller's drawings. With their help, the types and equipment of the St. Dié press were transported in 1510 to Strasbourg, where Schott opened a printing shop. Schott used the same types in Strasbourg as had been used for the 1507 "Cosmographia Introductio" and later used the original St. Dié pressmark as well (KARROW).

No binding. Zustand: Fine. Strasbourg: Johann Schott, 1513. Woodcut map (17 1/2 x 23 inches) with climate and parallel zones in the Ptolemaic tradition. One of the EARLIEST maps of ITALY based on modern toponymy rather than classical place names. CONDITION: excellent. The present map of Italy is part of the "Supplementum Modernior" which NORDENSKIOLD calls the first modern atlas of the world. Cf. Waldseemüller in the introduction to his Pars Secunda: "We have confined the Geography of Ptolemy to the first part of the work, in order that its antiquity may remain intact and separate.".

No binding. Zustand: Very good. FRIES, Laurent (ca. 1485-1532) and WALDSEEMÜLLER, Martin (1470-1520): Vienna 1541 (THIRD STATE), 16 1/4 x 21 1/4 inches; double-page woodcut map of the world with printing imperfection in top right quadrant (present in all issues) showing Europe, Africa, Asia, and parts of the Americas in the Ptolemaic tradition with parallel zones and different illustrations including an elephant and five throned kings representing the sovereigns of Russia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Taprobana, and Mursuli. Condition: very good with minor abrasions along centerfold. The map is derivative of Martin Waldseemüller's 1513 map of the world (known as the "Admiral's Map"), but does not include cross-directional lines. Despite the availability of more recent surveys, Fries remains ambiguous in the depiction of South America, Greenland, and most of Southeast Asia, following the somewhat archaic prototype by Waldseemüller. In the words of Rodney SHIRLEY (1983) this map "is one of the earliest world maps available to a collector, and is an unsophisticated but attractive rendering of what was generally known of the world at that time.".

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Trapezoidal map of the eastern part of Central Asia with the western part of China to the east. The Central Asian steppe, formerly Schytia Extra Imaum. This map by Martin Waldseemüller is based on Claudius Ptolemy (87-150), the famous geographer of Antiquity. Some minor spots on the margins. Woodcut, published in Strasbourg in 1513 by J. Schott in "Claudii Ptolemei viri Alexandrini Mathematical discipline Philosophi dictissimi Geographiae opus novissima (.)." Dimensions (picture): 37 x 52 cm.
