Ritter F.
Astrolabium & Speculum Solis
Nuremberg 1660 - B/W as issued (Shirley 270) - two maps
These two maps are from Ritter's Astrolabium and Speculum Solis, two books in one volume. On these maps Shirley tells us that (in his Speculum Solis) "Franz Ritter has included a most unusual (world) map. It is projected from the north pole as if it were the table of a sun dial, with the land masses drawn to scale in proportion to their distance to the pole. The map is (thus) highly distorted...but mathematically correct".
