Claudius Ptolemy lived in the second century, is this map drawn from his earlier maps?

- Margot
   

   
 
You are correct, this map is from the mid 1500s and not from 150 AD which is when Ptolemy lived, but more on that later. If you are interested, we have 5 complete copies of Ptolemys Geography (the atlas this map was taken from) in our Rare Book Library. You can view them here within our 3d flip book viewer: http://www.historicmapworks.com/RareBookLibrary/ Unfortunately, no known example of Ptolemys original maps still exist, however around the late 1300s and early 1400s, European scholars rediscovered Ptolemys texts and attempted to draw their own interpretations of his maps from his descriptions. These were published as their own editions of his Geography with the inclusion of contemporary maps for areas Ptolemy couldnt have known about. Take a look at our Rare Book Library and compare the various maps in the various Ptolemaic atlases. Gerard Mercators edition from 1584 is thought to be especially faithful to Ptolomeys original intentions.

This great piece of work may have been done in 1971 but it is unlikely that that is the date of the maps. What is it.

What amazes me with this atlas is how it shows all the control points, switches, towers, and catenary bridge locations of the railroad tracks - NYNH&H AND NYW&B railroad. This is a really neat thing to have, being a NYW&B buff.
