Giuseppe ROSACCIO Pordenone circa 1530 – Venezia 1621

physician, travel writer, geographer, cosmographer and cartographer, he is known for some geographical and cosmographical works, which, although not large volume, brought him some fame and was reprinted several times. Among them the Teatro del Cielo e della Terra (Venezia 1595), Mondo e le sue parti, cioè Europa, Affrica, Asia et America (Verona 1596), il Microcosmo (Firenze 1600), iMondo elementare e celeste (Treviso 1604), il Discorso sulla nobiltà ed eccellenza della Terra (Firenze). He also supervised an edition of Ptolemy's Geography, printed in Venice in 1599, accompanied with some Discorsi and 42 new tables. He is also the author of a large map of the world (Venice 1597), a large map of Italy (Florence 1609) and one of Tuscany (Florence 1609). In all these works, however, shows little originality.
