Description
  • Title:!620 or 1621 Magini Map of Caucacus [verso] Near East -- Tasbula Asiae III [verso] Tabula Asiae IIII,li>Cartographer:G Magini
  • Year/Place:1620/1 Padova
  • Map Dimension (in.):5.2 X 7.2 in.
  • Description:This woodblock, Ptolemaic map covers the region between the Black and Caspian Seas on one side and the Near East from Turkey to Egypt and to Iraq on the other side. Side 1 is divided into four regions: Colchis, Iberia, Albania, and Armenia Maior. A large gate (Portae Albaniae) is shown in the mountains at the top of the map. This reflects the legend of Alexander the Great, who is said to have discovered the evil hordes of Gog and Magog in this region. Alexander, calling upon the power of God, moved the mountains together and built a mighty wall spanning the entire Caucasus range, closing off the civilized south from the forces of darkness. A sea monster swims through the Caspian Sea. The other side is a nice example of Magini's Ptolemaic map of the Near East, with Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean, north to name Armenia. Includes present day Turkey and Iraq with the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Bedouin encampments are shown in the interior of Arabia Deserta. The map covers the entire Holy Land with many ancient town including Petra, Sidon, and Tripolis.
