Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Second. MERCATOR'S PTOLEMAIC AND ITALIAN ATLAS IN BOARDS, WITH OUTSTANDING CONTEMPORARY COLOR. Geographia: Cologne: Gottfried von Kempen, 1584. Second edition. Italia: [Duisburg: Mercator, 1589.] First edition. Folio in 6s and 2s (15 1/2" x 10 1/2", 395mm x 268mm). [Full collation avaioable.] With two hand-colored engraved title-pages and 43 (Geographia: 26 of 28, Italia: 17 of 22) double-page hand-colored engraved maps integral with the text, Italia extra-illustrated with a double-page hand-colored engraved map "Europa ad magnae Europae Gerardi Mercatoris P. imitationem Rumoldi Mercatoris" (Duisberg, ca. 1595; the first state, without text verso). Bound in later (XVIIIc?) paste-paper-covered boards backed in vellum (re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down). Ink manuscript title to the front cover (ligatured): "librx eñrmi/ ~PTLs~" with the Trisagion (hymn) in Greek in four lines above. On the spine, the author, title and date in ink manuscript. All edges of the text-block speckled blue. Re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down. Rubbed and worn, with some soiling. Mild tanning, in some places moderate, with the odd spot of soiling or foxing. Lacking 2 maps in the Geographia and 5 maps in the Italia; extra-illustrated with a 1595 Rumold Mercator map of Europe. Pigment oxidation throughout, with resultant cracking at the spine of quire N (Africae Tabula IIII). Scattered peripheral tears. Worming to the lower margin of the first three and final three leaves, not affecting the text. The free edges of the final two leaves extended. A worn graphite gift inscription to the recto of the front free end-paper seemingly repeated in ink along the verso of the same leaf. Oval blind-stamp to a paster paper label at the head of the title-leaf, repeated in ink verso. Claudius Ptolemaeus (usually anglicized to Ptolemy) was a second-century philosopher living in Roman Alexandria in Egypt. No manuscripts his Geographike Hyphegesis (Geographical Guidance; in Latin this is usually rendered Geographicae enarrationis libri octo or "eight books of geographical explanation") survive from before the XIIIc, but some XIIIc examples survive with maps that bear some relation to those Ptolemy himself drew. It was crucial to explorers; Columbus expected to find the East Indies because of Ptolemy's calculations and assertions about longitude. As the world expanded beyond its ancient bounds, discoveries were integrated into the Ptolemaic maps, distinct with their trapezoidal frames. Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) pioneered the projection that bears his name and established the recognizable modern world map. Called by Ortelius (to whom the Geographia is dedicated) the modern Ptolemy, he edited the text of the Geographia in 1576, and was able to "correct" maps -- i.e., to present a Ptolemaic rather than a modern conception of the three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia) -- to conform to the revised text. There is a particularly strong emphasis on the (ancient) mapping of Asia. The present example has unusually rich color, which has oxidized over the centuries to tan the cellulose of the paper, while keeping the vibrant oranges intact. Bound with the Geographia is the (eventual) fifth part of Mercator's Atlas -- the first book so-called (and meaning, roughly, "a book of maps published at the same size"), published in six parts from 1585 to 1595 -- published at Duisburg in 1589: Italy, "Sclavonia" (the lands of the (South) Slavs, i.e., modern Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia etc.) and Greece. Although a "custom" combination of works, it's not uncommon to find individual parts of the eventual Atlas combined with Mercator's Ptolemy. It speaks, seemingly, to a particularly south-eastern European purchaser. Geographia: VD-16 P 5219; Italia: Van der Krogt/Koeman 1:002A. …
