"This quarto edition of Ptolemy was edited by the distinguished Italian geographer Giovanni Magini who also published, as part of the same work, the first reduced-size version of Mercator's atlas. The four world maps -- one ancient and three modern engravings -- are all by Girolamo Porro, neatly copying other earlier works." (Shirley), Shirley 193; Phillips 405.
