Ruscelli .   Genuine Antique map "Tabula Asiae III" by Ruscelli, Venice, c. 1561.  This 450 year old Ptolemaic map of southern Russia on a trapezoidal projection shows the Causasus between the Black and Caspian Seas including Armenia, Assyriae and Albania. Seas are stippled and mountains and lakes are imaginatively drawn. Ruscelli's maps were some of the first to use the then new copperplate engraving method, rather than historic wood blocks. Ptolemaic maps, representing the early understanding of world geography as mapped by Claudius Ptoloemy in the second century, were the standard for well over 1000 years until exploration expanded understanding in the late 15th century. Good strong impression, margins and center fold as issued.  Binding holes present resulting in minor image loss. Faint age toning. Latin text on verso. Image measures 7"x 9 1/2". THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION! All of our items are genuine antiques as described.
