Silografia, mm 400x280, colorata. Tratta da "Claudii Ptolemaei Alexandrini geographicae enarrationis libri octo" edizione della "Geographia" di Tolomeo curata da Michael Servetus detto Villanovanus, basata su quella del 1522 di Laurent Fries che a sua volta replica la celebre edizione di Waldseemueller del 1513, le cui carte sono qui ridotte. Le carte geografiche del 1522 di Fries, furono ristampate identiche in tutte le edizioni, con per� notevoli variazioni al titolo, al testo laterale ad al verso. Originariamente scritta attorno al 150 dopo Cristo, la Geographia di Tolomeo, chiamato "Padre della Geografia", pose i principi fondamentali della geografia scientifica; riscoperta nel periodo rinascimentale ed introdotta in ambito europeo, tradotta in latino dal greco, l'opera rappresent� per secoli la pietra miliare della cartografia. Ottimo esemplare, con leggere tracce di sporco superficiale alla piega centrale. Nr.cat: P5110017. Seller Inventory # 9458

Store Description

Libreria Antiquaria Perini was founded in Como in 1968 by Carlo and Ruth Perini, who moved to Verona in 1970 and in 1972 based the gallery in via Sciesa 11. It's now ruled by Alberto and Marcus Perini, the second generation in this family-business, with the help of Marcus' wife Antonella. We published 50 catalogues of antique and rare books, maps, decorative prints and old masters. We recently increased our inventory and interests opening a window on the modern market of contemporary masters and vintage posters.
