    Three more clues. With the clues you already have a bit of Googling might get the answer.

    1695

    Ptolemy

    Rhenum

    (And if you're all getting fed up with this one just say so and I'll show you what it is)

    Windy's got it!!!!
    Well done Windy. I would have accepted "book" and Fancy was getting close to it with her guess about rough wallpaper.

    Marge you were pretty close with "scroll".

    It's Mercator's Atlas after Ptolemy. Published in 1695 by Halman in Utrect.
