Claudii Ptolemaei Geographicae Enarrationis Libri Octo (1525)
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
Ptolemy's 'Geography' (Geographia) is a work originally written in Greek. The 1525 edition, 'Claudii Ptolemaei Geographicae Enarrationis Libri Octo', is a Latin translation/edition of that Greek work. While English translations of Ptolemy's 'Geography' exist (such as the 1932 Stevenson translation and the 2000 Berggren & Jones translation), these are translations of the original Greek text, not translations of the specific 1525 Latin edition. No evidence was found of an English translation of the 1525 Latin text itself.
