Antique Map of the Balkans with Coat of Arms

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Tavola Nuova di Schiavonia'. Ruscelli's map of the Balkans, with a coat of arms. 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. This map originates from 'Espositione & introduttioni universali di Gir. Ruscelli sopra tutta la Geografia di Tolomeo (..)' published by Girolamo Ruscelli, 1561. Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) was a cartographer, humanist, and scholar from Tuscany. Ruscelli was a prominent writer and editor in his time, writing about a wide variety of topics including the works of Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarch, Italian language, Italian poetry, medicine, alchemy, and militia. One of his most notable works was a translation of Ptolemy’s Geographia which was published posthumously.
