World, Europe, Asia, Africa C. Cellarius, 1701, Veteris Orbis Climata ex Strabone

Interesting ancient map of the world, based upon Strabo. The Southern tip of Africa is undiscovered. No sign of Japan, the Korean Peninsula or Australia and Oceana. Excellent NE Passage display. A marvelous world map, based upon 2000 year old geography. From an early edition of Cellarius' Notitia Orbis Antiqui, Sive Geographia Plenior...et Novis Tabulis Geographicis, which was published in London, Amsterdam and other places over the next 100 years and was one of the most popular Ancient Geographies of its time.

This interesting map divides the ancient world into seven climatic zones. The Asian continent is severely truncated, and there is no Japan. The map is nicely composed in a semi-circular projection with a ribbon banner-style title. Engraved by Richard William Seale.
