A map of Scandinavia and the North Atlantic south to the British Isles, engraved by Girolamo Porro and published in the last new edition of Ptolemy's Geography, with the text corrected by Magini. However this map is nor Ptolemaic, but based on Ortelius: it shows the Zeno 'discoveries', including the mythical island of Frisland notes in the far north 'Pigmies live here'.
