Relief shown pictorially Scale in graph. Form. A decorative boldly engraved map from a Latin text edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, renowned as the first world atlas. This map appeared in all editions of the atlas, from 1570-1612. A map rich in place names, obviously based on Italian sources as they were frequent travellers to this part of the world. An interesting error is the depiction of the Caspian Sea as linger and narrower than in reality, while the number of big rivers flowing into the Persian Gulf and Caspian is exaggerated.

Choronologica et astronomica elementa, e Palatinae bibliothecae veteribus libris versa, expleta, & scholiis expolita. Additus est commentarius ... Autore M. Iacobo Christmanno. Frankfurt, heirs of Andrea Wechel, 1590. 8vo, lea. (bind.) + 1 tit. + 1 + 8 ((epist didicat.) + 4 (epist.) + 2 + 565 + 1 (erratte) + 2 + 2lea. (bind.), woodcut printer's device on title, repeated on verso of final blank, some passages of Greek and Arabic in text; contemporary vellum. First edition of this late sixteenth-century commentary and Latin version of al-Farghani's 'Elements', Kitab al-Jawami, based by the translator, Jacob Christmann, on Jacob Anatoli's Hebrew version of the Arabic text. "The influence of the Elements on medieval Europe is clearly attested by the existence of numerous Latin manuscrips in European libraries. References to it in medieval writers are many, and there is no doubt that it was greatly responsible for spreading knowledge of Ptolemaic astronomy, at least until this role was taken over by Sacrobosco's Sphere. But even then the Elements of Alfraganus continued to be used, and Sacrobosco's Sphere was clearly indebted to it. It was from the Elements (in Gerard's translation) the Dante derived [his] astronomical knowledge" (DSB). Kepler refers several times to Alfraganus, once, for instance, citing his measurement of the circumference of the world (Epitome, Book I, Part I). DSB, 4, 541-545; EI, II, p. 793; Sezgin, VI, 149-51.
