Summary[edit]

Description
English: Blank grids for construction of maps on Ptolemy's first and second projections. Text removed:

Fig. 6.13 (a) A reconstruction of Ptolemy's conic projection, suggested for the construction of a map of the habitable world (after a sixteenth-century copy); (b) Ptolemy's modified spherical projection of the world, giving a superior likeness of the earth's surface on a sheet of paper. Though preferable to the conic projection, Ptolemy confessed that it was far more difficult to construct (courtesy Enoch Pratt Free Library).
