Burney MS 111 is a Greek manuscript edition of Ptolemy's Geography (ff. 3r to 114r) held by the British Library, dating from the 1390s to 1425. It is preceded by four epigrams on the Geography by Maximus Planudes on f. 2v and followed on f. 114r by heroic verses inc. Ἐν γραμμαῖς τὸν κόσμον ἀριθμηθέντα νόησον.

All maps except that of Taprobana on f. 1v are later additions on inserted leaves. They are divided in an unusual fashion:
