About the Item

The mountains are represented, river systems are shown in detail, and cities, towns and ports denoted throughout this 16th century map. A number of islands in the Adriatic Sea are also shown.

One of his most notable works was a translation of Ptolemy’s Geographia which was published posthumously.
