Description
This is an excellent map of the Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf and Red Sea, presented on a trapezoidal projection. The map extent to Africa showing Ethiopia and Somalia (here labeled Agipto). The Persian Gulf area is rather misshaped. This was published by G. Ziletti and is from the third edition of Ruscelli's translation of Ptolemy's Geographia. Italian text on verso. This work is among the first to utilize copper plate engraving, in place of wood, and copper plates were used for maps for three plus centuries henceforth.
