The maps are the same as those which appeared in the Venice, 1548 edition which had been originally engraved by Giacomo Gastaldi, but have been retouched with new relief of ships and fish. However, according the Shirley, the regional maps in this edition are basically those which originated by Girolamo Puscelli in 1561, with amendments. The world maps consist of the Ptolemaic one dating from 1574 ([27]. Ptolemaei cognita), the original Carta marina ([41]. Carta marina nvova tavola) from the Venice, 1561 edition, and state 2 of the double-hemispherical world map of the Venice, 1561 edition with the addition of a southern continent ([2]. Orbis descriptio). There is also a fourth world map, almost certainly by Rosaccio himself, consisting of two hemispheres enclosed within a plain border ([1]. Orbis terrae compendiosa descriptio), which is a skillfull reproduction of Mercator's map of 1587 but with parallel latitudinals. Five new modern maps have been added to this edition given by Sabin as: map. [3]. Evropa, [18]. Di Hvungaria et Transilvania novissima, [20]. Africa, [26]. Asia, and [33]. America.
