EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Ms Lat 463 Fol. 75v-76r Map of the World with the Twelve Winds" by Ptolemy, a renowned cartographer from ancient Alexandria. Preserved on vellum and housed in the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Italy, this masterpiece offers a fascinating glimpse into early cartography. The map depicts a planisphere surrounded by twelve winds personified as mythical figures. Each wind is named and represented by its own unique characteristics, such as Caurus, Circius, Euros, Eurus, Auster or Notos, Africus, Sephirus, Euroauster, Euronotos, Subsolanus, Wulturnus or Wlturnus, and Septentunio or Septenturio. These winds symbolize their respective directions and play an integral role in understanding global geography. With intricate details and precision craftsmanship evident throughout the artwork's delicate lines and vibrant colors on vellum parchment, this map transports viewers to a time when exploration was still shrouded in mystery. The inclusion of seas, countries, and lands further enhances its educational value. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through photography, the viewer is reminded of how far our knowledge has come since Ptolemy's era. Yet it also serves as a reminder that curiosity about our world remains timeless.
