Benedetto, Bordone, Venice, 1528 and subsequent (as marked).

Bordone's work is remarkable as being the first atlas covering the entire world not based on Classical geography; before this atlas, only the Waldseemuller /Ptolemy Geographia, which was essentially a Ptolemaic atlas despite its inclusion of "modern" maps, had ventured to chart shores beyond those of the Old World. But with this work Bordone breaks away from this tradition, charting all the heretofore unknown regions of the world, including specific regions of America, basing the book on contemporary isolario data rather than on Ptolemy.
