First map of Asia minor
Nicolaus Germanus , 15th cent. -- Cartographer | First map of Asia (Asia minor),
in full gold border. (created ca. 1460 )
Emanuel Chrysoloras (c. 1350-1415), a teacher of Greek living in Constantinople,
traveled to Venice in 1395. There he met Jacopo d’Angelo (Jacopus Angelus) da
Scarperia, who became his student and went back to Constantinople with him. Two
years later they returned to Italy, where in 1406 Jacobus Angelus finished his
Latin translation of the Geographia from a Greek manuscript that has not
survived. This translation, dedicated to Pope Gregory XII, was widely circulated
in manuscript.
Donnus (Dominus) Nicolaus Germanus (a man of the church from Germany) was
probably a Benedictine. In the period of the 1460s and 1470s he produced at
least twelve different manuscripts of Ptolemy’s Geographia, signing all but two
of them. Nicolaus Germanus was a manuscript illuminator who prepared maps to
accompany his manuscripts.
