Tabula III Asiae
Early map of the Caucasus and its surrounding region based on classical geography.
This map of the Caucasus is one of the earliest obtainable maps of the region. It is derived from Martin Waldseemuller’s map of the same title and form first issued in 1513. Waldseemuller is renowned as being the compiler of the first “modern” atlas by adding a supplement maps not traditionally present in a “Geographia” based on the classical cartographer, Claudius Ptolemy.
In 1522, this landmark work was re-issued by Lorenz Fries using the same plates albeit slightly reduced in size. Evidently the work was successful as a second edition was prepared for issue in 1525. There were further editions in 1535 and 1541 although by that point, Fries was no longer involved in their publication.
The Tabula Tercia Asiae is based on the classical map of Claudius Ptolemy and covers the Caucasus. Although few names are recognisable within the map, the most prominent is Armenia, a large Empire during Ptolemy’s flourishing.
