Third edition of Ruscelli's translation, the first corrected by Giovanni Malombra, and containing one additional map, 'Territori di Roma'; Ruscelli's translation first appeared in 1561. Of the 65 maps 27 are Ptolemaic and 38 are modern: the latter include two important world maps, the double-hemispherical 'Orbis Descriptio' and the rectangular 'Carta Marina', both adapted from Gastaldi's Ptolemaic atlas of 1548. Shirley remarks that the 'Orbis Descriptio is elegantly designed and engraved on copper with typical Italian taste and skill. Separate double-hemispherical maps were no innovation but this is the first time that such a representation had been used in an atlas'.

Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) stunt compass from Gore Verbinski's action-adventure sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Jack carried his compass throughout the film, hanging it from his belt when not guiding him to his next adventure. This stunt version of the compass is made of foam rubber, hand painted to resemble wood. The static prop does not open, but has intricate detailing cast into it, including a metal-coloured clasp. It has a faux-leather thong to attach it to Jack's clothing. The compass was designed to look worn and well-used, and exhibits additional wear from production use and age, including some cracking to the paint and foam rubber.
