Description
Interesting map of the regions bounded by the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, extending to just south of the Equator. Shows the twin sources of the Nile and many other early and sometimes mythical geographical features. 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.
