Summary
Girolamo Ruscelli: Tavola nuova di Schiavonia
The map is from his work La Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo Alessandrino. Based on the works of Claudius Ptolemy and an atlas by Giacomo Gastaldi, it focuses on the Balkans, the 'Powder Kegs of Europe' and the many countries where they form part of the landscape.
Mountains are beautifully represented, river systems are detailed, and cities, towns and ports are marked on this 16th century map. A number of islands in the Adriatic Sea are also shown. The seas are dotted, and the map is decorated with a coat of arms in the lower left corner.
Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) was an Italian cartographer, polyhistorian, humanist and editor, active in Venice at the beginning of the 16th century. Ruscelli is best known for his important revision of Ptolemy's Geography, published posthumously in 1574.
Claudius Ptolemy (85-165 AD), a Roman citizen of Greek descent from Alexandria, was the most influential Greek astronomer and geographer of his time. He established the geocentric theory of the solar system that would prevail for the next 1400 years.
