Popis:	In Johann Reger's 1486 edition, Ptolemy's Geographia is preceded by a Registrum alphabeticum and followed by the treatise De loas ac mirabilibus mundi. The additional texts are based on medieval examples: a Latin translation of Jean Germain's La mappemonde spirituelle (c.1450), Vincent of Beauvais's Speculum naturale (13th century), and Isidore of Seville's Etymologiae and De natura rerum (6th‐7th century). The combination of medieval knowledge with the highlight of classical geographical science indicates that in the fifteenth century Ptolemy's mathematical cartography did not replace medieval descriptive geography, but rather that his work was interpreted within the framework of traditional knowledge.
