Notes:
The collection includes three cosmological maps of the universe on the geocentric model: ID #1002.01, from the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493); ID #1005, from an edition of Virgil (1552); and ID 1018, from a Mallet atlas (1719). All three support the Christian view of the sun revolving around the earth, although the Mallet version was published more than 170 years after Copernicus' De revolutionibus and more than 80 years after Galileo's Dialogo.
