Summary
Description Add 19391 19-20.png |
English:
A
Greek
-language map of
Hibernia
(
Ireland
) and
Albion
(
Great Britain
) derived from
Ptolemy
's
Geography
, probably in the early 14th century at
Constantinople
(
Istanbul
), held by the
Vatopedi Monastery
on
Mount Athos
prior to its purchase by the British Museum.
The map reflects Ptolemy's mistaken placement of Scotland at a right angle to the rest of Britain, apparently derived from his reliance on seafarer's logs.
