Minuscule 3686
Minuscule 3686 is an early 15th Century Venetian hand-written re-creation of Claudius Ptolemy’s ''Geographia''. It is part of the Harleian Collection at the British Library.
==Description==
Original 2nd Century versions of ''Geographia'' typically did not survive to the High Middle Ages; early Renaissance cartographers were working from copies of copies. Examination of the codex indicates the scribe of Ms. 3686 was transcribing from an all-Latin copy. This codex is based on one of the few reprints that included the map sheets. Many other codices merely copied Book 1, which was text-only. Other scholarly sources indicate that it is near impossible to accurately create the maps from purely the text Ptolemy wrote describing how to produce the maps. Geographically-focused codices with maps often garner broad interest while those codices without maps typically only interest historians of mathematics and cartography. Despite this supposed broad appeal, very little else is easily available about Ms. 3686. The codex currently resides in the British Library but there have been very few scholarly examinations of it. Even the most well-known surveys of Ptolemaic mapping, Nordenskiöld’s Facsimile Atlas and Jesuit Priest Joseph Fisher’s ''Claudii Ptolemaei Geographiae Codex Urbinas Graecus'', do not include Ms. 3686.
Although lacking in a printing press or knowledge of the Western Hemisphere, the early 15th Century Europe had an economy providing navigational charts to mariners and scholarly reading material to persons with disposable income (but neither was in the vernacular language).〔
