Nice example of the second state of Ruscelli's modern map of Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, from Ruscelli's Geografia.
Ruscelli's map is one of the earliest obtainable modern maps of the region. The map is an enlarged edition of Giacomo Gastaldi's maps of the region, which are among the most important early maps and now virtually unobtainable on the market
These maps were published in the 1574 edition of Girolamo Ruscelli`s 'La Geografia di Claudio Tolomeo'. Girolamo Ruscelli's Italian translation of Ptolemy's 'Geographia', revised by Giovanni Malombra, contained 27 maps based on the text of Ptolemy and 38 maps of the modern world by Ruscelli.
