Tavola Nvova D'Italia
Late 16th Century map of Italy with part of Sicily, Corsica and a section of the Dalmatian Coast, embellished with galleon and sea monsters.
The map is based on Giacomo Gastaldi's smaller 1548 map.
Although Ruscelli was a respected map publisher, he gained far greater success as the pseudonymous author of an enduringly popular work on alchemy.
