A pleasing example of Ruscelli's modern map of Syria and the Holy Land with Cyprus. Protective margin added at lower edge. The geographical outline and detail show several changes when compared with the Ptolemaic map of this region - most notably, the north-eastern tip of Cyprus has its distinctive shape.
