EVROPÆ TABVLA VIII
Venice, 10.5 by 7.5 inches, in five versions from editions of his “Ptolemaeus La Geografia,” which
published new (Tabula Nova) maps along with Ptolemy’s 2nd century descriptions. The 1574 edition of the atlas was published by G. Ziletti. This Ptolemaic rendition of central Europe is fairly recognisable to modern eyes with an enlarged Sea of Azov dominating the south east. The western
edge of the map is marked by the Vistula river.
