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.

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

Show morePtolemys map of Arabia (his map of the sixth province of Asia) is regarded as the basis for future representations of the peninsula, which changed as new information reached Europe. It is accurately located geographically on the southern coast of the Gulf. However the island of Tyllo (Tylos/Bahrain) that should be across from Catara is too Far East near the straits of Hormuz, this map Boundaries are shown as spotted line, Mountains are represented as slabs and shaded. They have a double outline, perhaps an unsuccessful attempt to show the thickness of the slab. The indentures of the coastline, the lines of rivers and outlines of the mountains have a characteristic semi-circular appearance. Names are in Roman type. Nomenclature is approximately the same as the 1478 edition. The engraver is unknown, but M.A.Hind has suggested Rosseli. In the British Museum copy the map was printed in two halves, but these have been joined and the map refolded.
