Claudio Tolomeo - Mappa del mondo tolemaica facsimile...

An attractive modern numbered edition of the Tolemaic World Map, drawn from Claudius Ptolemy's Cosmographia and derived from the Pluteo 30.3 manuscript kept at the Medicea Laurenziana Library in Florence, Italy. A plate of strong historical, decorative, and collectible appeal, particularly interesting for enthusiasts of antique cartography and Renaissance culture. The composition, inspired by the Ptolemaic geographical tradition, stands out for the elegance of its oval outline and for the richness of its figurative apparatus. The names of the geographical places are embellished with embossed gold finishes, a detail that gives the work a remarkable visual impact and a particularly refined decorative quality. The specimen belongs to a limited edition of 149 numbered copies and is accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity / colophon. Version without frame. Dimensions: 43 × 59 cm. Language: Latin.
