1561 Ruscelli - Europæ Tabula IX
1561 Ptolemaic Map by Ruscelli: Europæ Tabula IX
The map comes from the 1561 first edition of Ruscelli's 'Ptolemaeus La Geographia' published in Venice. The atlas also included new (Tabula Nova) maps along with Ptolemy's originals.
This woodblock map is one of the earliest printed representations of southeastern Europe and the Balkan countries, including Byzantium. The Danube River flows across the region from west to east. Byzantium, soon to be Constantinople, is marked on the Bosphorus between the Black and Aegean Seas.
Outline hand coloring.
