Berlinghieri's map is the third map of the region (pre-dated by 1477 and 1478 editions, but his map is of the highest importance for several reasons: 1. It is based on the projections of Marinus of Tyre, a second century AD Greek geographer, cartographer and mathematician, credited as the founder of mathematical geography, a system which would have been employed by Claudius Ptolemy at the time Ptolemy originally constructed his "Geographia." 2. It is the first printed map of the region to utilize a style notably different from the Nicholas Germanicus model and to adopt a different means for projecting the printed landmasses represented on the maps. 3. It was engraved by Niccolò Tedesco, a German printer. 4. It has rectangular borders rather than the trapezoidal borders employed in the earlier editions.
