A 16th century map of Greece.

RUSCELLI, Girolamo.

Graetia Nuova Tavola.
Venice: Vincenzo Valgrisi, 1561, First State. 185 x 260mm.

A 'modern' map of Greece and the Aegean, published in Ruscelli's 'La Geographi di Claudio Tolomeo'.
A feature of this first state is that no map has a platemark at top: two maps were engraved on the same plate and the resulting sheet halved. Later the plate was cut in two.
