Title Septentrionalivm partivm nova tabvla
Creator Nicolo Zeno
Girolamo Ruscelli
Zeno, Nicolo
Girolamo Ruscelli
Publisher Venice, Italy
Description Kort Nicolo Zeno úr ferðasögu hans var endurprentað eftir eirstungu í feneyskum útgáfum á Landafræði Ptolemeusar, þeirri fyrstu frá 1561. Kortið hefur verið minnkað nokkuð og lagfært og mun útgefandi bókarinnar, Girolamo Ruscelli, hafa séð um það. Helstu breytingar eru þær að Grænland er skilið frá Norður-Evrópu en í kjölfar nýlegra siglinga Englendinga á þeim slóðum var óstætt að hafa slíkt landsamband á kortinu. Lengdarbaugar eru markaðir en þeir voru ónúmeraðir á frumkortinu. Nokkrum nöfnum er sleppt og öðrum breytt.
The map of Nicolo Zeno from his travel book was reprinted with some changes in six Venetian editions of Ptolemy in the latter part of the 16th century, the first one from 1561. The map has been reduced in size and corrected to some extent and it was the publisher, Girolamo Ruscelli, who saw to that. The main changes are that Greenland is separated from Northern Europe because in wake of recent sailings by English seafarers to this area such a connection was obviously wrong. The meridians are marked, few place-names are omitted and others corrected.
