Description: Ruscelli's 1561 map of New Spain was an enlarged copy of fellow Venetian Giacomo Gastaldi's 1548 map of New Spain, but with a major difference: Ruscelli's map showed Yucatan correctly as a peninsula, not an island. Both were New World addendum maps for "modern" editions of the 2nd century Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemy's book on geography.
