Show moreThis is the second map of the Arabian Peninsula ever printed, preceded only by the Bologna edition of Ptolemy in 1477. It is an Important early map of the Arabian peninsula and adjoining regions, which first appeared in the 1478 Rome edition of Ptolemys "Geography" created under the direction of Conrad Swenheym who apprenticed with Guttenberg, and published after Swenheyms death in 1477 by Arnold Buckinck. The present map in an excellent example of Cornad Swenheyms finely engraved map of Arabia based upon Ptolemy. As noted by Rodney Shirley, "The new copper plates engraved at Rome for the 1478 edition of Ptolemys "Geography" are much superior in clarity and craftsmanship to those of the Bologna edition. There is evidence that work on the Rome edition had been started in 1473 or 1474, and several of the plates may well have been engraved before those printed by Taddeo Crivelli at Bologna in 1477, many consider the Rome plates to be the finest Ptolemaic plates produced until Gerhard Mercator engraved his classical world atlas of 1578, Conrad Swehnheyms 1478 edition of Ptolemys work is also of tremendous importance as the first set of maps to employ the "punched letter" printing process. The map includes the towns of Medina "Lathrippa", and the archeological sites of Zubarah "Catara", and Al-Dur "Domana". The run of the edition is not known, but it is considered to be scarce, and is therefore rare and important. Until the 1477 edition was definitively dated, the 1478 edition was believed to be the first ever printed atlas. Main Heritage Compact General HC.MAP.00190 Print Map Item-ID: i11401692 BIB-ID: 1845437 Claudius Ptolemaeus (circa 100circa 170) was an influential mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer and also a poet. He was a Greek-Roman citizen and lived in Alexandria, Egypt. Ptolemy was famous for a number of discoveries, out of which the most famous was a theory which expounded that the earth was the center of the universe. The term "geocentric" came to being from this theory. His achievements were considered paramount during his time and quite a number of astronomers followed it religiously (especially the Greeks), until the 17th century. Later on, the works of Ptolemy evoked more controversies and arguments than any other mathematician or geographer. Even though many of his theories were proven to be incorrect, he was among the early astronomers and mathematicians who contributed a great deal to mathematics, geography and astronomy. Show less
