Magini’s version of Ptolemy’s map of Egypt and the Nile. It is from the first edition of Magini’s edition of Ptolemy’s ‘Geography’. This is distinguished by the lack of text below the map. Magini was from Padua and would later publish an atlas of Italy. The maps in this work are expertly engraved by Girolamo Porro and are particularly detailed and attractive. There were later editions in 1598 and 1622. Shirley ‘Atlases in BL’ T.Ptol-12a; Nordenskiold 223.
