Based on Jacobo d'Angelo's translation of Ptolemy's
text, which was proofed by Pietro Bono and Girolamo Manfredi, and then
corrected by Galleoto Marzio and Nicolo di Guggio, with a final revision
carried out by Filippo Beroaldo; the maps were compiled by Bono and Manfredi,
and drawn by Taddeo Crivelli. |

The modern maps were edited by Beneventanus;
Johannes Ruysch's world map is sometimes found, although commissioned
for the 1507 edition, it was not completed in time, and properly
belongs to the 1508 edition, where it is mentioned on the title-page. |

The text is a paraphrase of Ptolemy's text, in
Italian verse, also combining classical and contemporary authors and texts,
The Ptolemaic regional maps are drawn on Marinus' plane projection.
Three of the modern maps (Spain, France & Italy). The prototypes of
the three European maps were drawn by Pietro del Massaio, and illuminated
by Hughes Commineau; the Palestine map derives from Pietro Vesconte's map,
drawn for Marino Sanudo.
[Although not generally considered an edition
of Ptolemy, the maps are the only examples of Ptolemy's maps to be drawn
on the original projection, with equidistant meridians and parallels.] |

The text was translated by Wilibald PIRCKHEIMER,
using the notes of Johannes REGIOMONTANUS, perhaps under the editorship
of Johann HUTTICH; the ornamental woodblock designs on the reverse of the
maps are attributed to Albrecht DURER, who also contributed the woodblock
of the armillary sphere. |

The text was newly edited by SERVETUS from Wilibald
PIRCKHEIMER's text, used in the previous edition; the woodblock designs
on the reverse of the maps are said to be the work of Hans HOLBEIN the
Younger and GRAF.
