About this sheet

Antique map titled 'Hispania Nova Tabula'. Ruscelli's map of Spain, including the Balearic Islands. This map originates from 'Espositione & introduttioni universali di Gir. Ruscelli sopra tutta la Geografia di Tolomeo (..)' published by Girolamo Ruscelli, 1561.

Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) was a cartographer, humanist, and scholar from Tuscany. Ruscelli was a prominent writer and editor in his time, writing about a wide variety of topics including the works of Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarch, Italian language, Italian poetry, medicine, alchemy, and militia. One of his most notable works was a translation of Ptolemy’s Geographia which was published posthumously.
