The 1522 Strasbourg Edition
of Ptolemy's Geographia
|
| This reduced version follows the arrangement of Waldseemuller's
edition, with the maps divided into two sections: the Ptolemaic maps, with
the world map at the end, and then the series of modern maps. The
Ptolemaic corpus is standard. The modern section is copied, on a
reduced format, from the maps prepared by Waldseemuller for the 1513 Strasbourg
Ptolemy, and accordingly contains the new maps of the North America and
the West Indies, Lorraine, Switzerland, Crete, North Africa, Southern Africa,
Southern Asia and the World.
To that group, Fries has added three maps: South East Asia and the East
Indies, China and Japan, and a navigational map of the World. The
two former are the first separate printed maps of the regions they depict.
Waldseemuller's edition has been termed "the first modern atlas, because
the 20 new maps show all parts of the world based on contemporary knowledge"
(1). While one might disagree with that conclusion, as the context
and arrangement of the volume remains Ptolemaic in concept, the section
of new maps proved very influential.
Through the large folio editions of 1513 and 1520, and this smaller
version, Waldseemuller's work received wide distribution, and influenced
and encouraged a new generation of mapmakers, including Sebastian Munster
and Giacomo Gastaldi.

The 1525 Strasbourg Edition
of Ptolemy's Geographia
|
| Three years after the first edition Gruninger printed a
second edition, for the Nuremberg publisher Johann Koberger. Apparently
faced with criticism of the text in the First Edition, Gruninger employed
Wilibald Pirckheimer to edit it, which he did from the notes of Johannes
Regiomontanus, perhaps under the overall editorship of Johann Huttich.
The text on the verso of the map is flanked by ornamental woodblock,
which have been attributed - probably wrongly - to Albrecht Durer, who
contributed the woodcut of the armillary sphere found just before the section
of maps.
Pirckheimer seems to have been unhappy with the finished volume, encouraging
Gruninger to burn the entire print run. It would seem plausible that
the 1525 edition also did not sell well, and nothing further is heard of
the blocks until they re-emerge in the possession of the Lyons brothers,
Gaspar and Melchior Trechsel, who printed the two subsequent editions.

| For details of the history of the atlas see the biography
of Lorenz Fries.
This is the third printing of the woodcut maps prepared by Lorenz Fries,
and first issued in 1522. By this time, both Fries and the
original printer, Johann Grüninger had died, and the blocks had found
their way into the ownership of Melchior and Gaspar Trechsel.
For this edition, the brothers employed Michael Servetus to re-edit
the text written by Wilibald Pirckheimer for the previous, 1525, edition.
As a result, the text is completely reset when compared with other editions.
The text on the verso of the maps is flanked by ornate woodblock designs,
which are said to be the work of Hans Holbein the Younger and Urs Graf.
The geographical area of each of the maps is unchanged from the previous
edition. There are variations, however, outside the borders.
Titles, where present, are printed from type set within separate woodcut
banners fixed to the upper border of the block.

The 1541 Vienne Edition of
Ptolemy's Geographia
|
| The fourth edition utilising Lorenz Fries's woodcut maps
was published in Vienne, Dauphine, in 1541 by Gaspar Trechsel, and sold
by Hughes de la Porte in Lyons.
Once again, the text was edited by Michael Servetus (Villanouanus) from
Pirckheimer's translation, and compared with other Greek texts. One important
amendment to the text was the removal of the note about Palestine.
For this edition, the text on the reverse of the map, where present,
was reset. The same series of maps are present, with maps themselves
again unchanged, with the exception of titles (again where present) outside
the map itself, and occasional variations in the letterpress text in the
margins. Of the Ptolemaic maps only the World map has a title, while
the majority of modern maps have titles. For this edition the characteristic
woodcut banner designs of earlier editions were discarded, and the titles
printed from letterpress type without surround, giving a readily identifiable
appearance.
The atlas was not re-printed, perhaps in face of competition from Sebastian
Munster's edition of 1540, which achieved wide popularity, with its enlarged
and improved section of modern maps including, for the first time, a set
of maps of the four known continents.
