"[Asia Minor] Tabula Haec Multarum Regionum Situm, quas Quidem Solinus Praesenti hoc Capite & non Nullis Sequentibus Describit, Exprimet", Solinus, Caius Julius

This scarce woodcut map by Sebastian Munster was published in Solinus' Polyhistor. It depicts Turkey and the Holy Land with ancient place names, exaggerated rivers, and rope-like mountains. On a sheet of Latin text measuring 7.9 x 12.4".

Solinus was a Roman grammarian from the 3rd century who borrowed largely from Pliny's Natural History, reinterpreting it from a geographical perspective.
