ORDERS ARE ACCEPTED FROM THE DATE OF PUBLISHING. 5 Galleri Bygdøy Allé - Kunstantikvariat Pama 1. (C. PTOLEMY) – NICOLAUS GERMANUS DONIS (”Tabula Moderna Prussie Livonie Norbegie Et Gottie”) Untitled Contemporary hand-coloured woodcut, 31,3x55,8cm at bottom, the full sheet 39,5x56,7cm ULM, South Germany (Lienhart Holle) 1482 THE FIRST PRINTED MAP OF SCANDINAVIA AND THE NORTH IN ORIGINAL COLOUR OF THE PUBLISHER. A KEY MAP IN THE HISTORY OF THE NORTH AND THE ARCTIC REGIONS. The map was first published by Lienhart Holle in Ulm 1482 as one of the 5 “new modern” maps of the Ptolemy atlas. It was based on the manuscript work by Nicolaus Germanus Donis (c 1420 – 90) influenced by the manuscript material of the Dane, Claudius Clawus Swart from early 1400. A major problem in depicting the northern part of Europe was to establish the correct location of Greenland. This first printed version chose to connect Greenland to northern Scandinavia as a peninsula but there are contemporary manuscripts known with Greenland in a position west of Scandinavia. Among the Norwegian cities depicted are Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. The map has no trace of a potential Northeast Passage. There are only two editions of this extremely important map which influenced the mapping of the North for more than half a century. The reissue in 1486 printed by Johann Reger was still printed in Ulm and has added title above the map. A VERY GOOD COPY DOMINATED BY THE IMPRESSIVE BLUE COLOUR OF THE PUBLISHER. Exhibition: “Septentrionalium”, Exhibit 6 – 21 October 2001 at Grev Wedels Plass Auksjoner, in Gamle Logen, Oslo. A few wormholes filled in at centrefod bottom.
