In the late 15th century, geographer and astrologer Nicolaus Germanus, who was employed by the Vatican, completed the maps for this famous #manuscript: the so-called Vatican Ptolemy. This geographic work is named after the ancient geographer and #Renaissance man Claudius #Ptolemy, who is considered to be the founder of modern cartography. The original Greek text of the Cosmographia by Claudius Ptolemy was translated into Latin by Jacopo Angeli da Scarpezia and was also illustrated and furnished entirely in the exquisite style of the Renaissance with the most precious materials and the greatest artistry. Dedicated to Pope Paul II, the Vatican Ptolemy unites this impressive artistic quality with a comprehensive image of the world as it was known at that time!
