Girolamo Ruscelli (1504 (1518?) -1566)
Girolamo Ruscelli was an Italian mathematician and cartographer who worked in Venice in the early 16th century. He was also an alchemist who wrote pseudonymously as Alessio Piemontese.

The engravers may have been the brothers Giulio and Livio Sanuto. Among the 69 copperplate maps were 40 based on maps by Giacomo Gastaldi. The maps were re-issued in 1562, 1564, 1574 and 1598.
