Description:
|
|
| North Africa from Morocco to Egypt. From the 1535 Lyon edition of Ptolemy's Geography edited by Michael Servetus using woodblocks by Laurent Fries. The map is largely a reduced version of Martin Waldseemuller's 1513 map of the same region, which is itself based on data collected by the ancient Greco-Roman geographer Claudius Ptolemy. [AFR1539] |
