Geografia di M. Livio Sanuto distinta in XII libri. Venice: Damiano Zenaro, 1588.
The first printed atlas of Africa. Sannuto’s Geographia was intended as a compendium of world geography, but the project was curtailed by his death. Only the first part, devoted to Africa, was ever published, and that posthumously. Skelton describes the Geographia as a “methodical and precisely documented description of the geography of Africa” and notes the “critical sense” exercised in the compilation of the maps, engraved by Sanuto’s brother Giulio.
It is unfortunate that the work was left incomplete, as Skelton suggests it would have been “among the masterpieces of Renaissance geography”; the fact it was incomplete may help explain its rarity on the market today.

Knight Leontiy Vassilievich Spafaryev (1765 - 30 January 1847) was a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Russian Navy. Spafaryev was Director of the Lighthouse Administration and cartographer of the Russian Admiralty.
Spafariev was an important contributor to the improvement of navigation along the Russian coasts. The first lighthouses in Russia were built during tsar Peter the Great's drive for reform and modernization at the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was only until the Administration of Lighthouses was created in 1807 that the Russian lighthouse system followed an organized pattern, becoming effective and efficient. This office was established by the Russian Navy and it began under the leadership of Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
As a cartographer, perhaps his most outstanding work is the 'Atlas of the Gulf of Finland', published in 1817. His name is spelt as 'Spafarief' or 'Spafarieff' in the United States.
The Spafaryev Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk and Spafarief Bay in the coast of Alaska were named after Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
