This engraved map is from Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy), Giovanni Antonio Magini, and Leonardo Cernoti's "Geografia. Nuovamente con singolare studio ricontrati, & coretti da G. A. Magini. Tradotta da L. Cernoti". The work was published in 1597 and 1598 in Venice by G. B. & B. Galignani.

This is considered the first Cernoti edition. This was published in Italian translated from Magini's work of 1596. The maps were engraved by Girolamo Porro.

This work is considered a later published editon of Ptolemy (Ptolemaeus)’s "Geographia". The work was considered one of the most influential cartographic accounts of the ancient world and served as inspiration for all Renaissance mapmakers. He compiled what was known of the world's geography in the Roman Empire during his time (circa 90-168 AD). Ptolemy was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer, astrologer, and poet. The earliest known manuscripts of Geographia date to 1300 and was first printed in 1477.

Girolamo Porro (1520-1604) was an Italian engraver. He worked most of his career in Venice and produced numerous engravings for published works.
