Wagner, Johann Christoph (sold)
Johann Christoph Wagner (1640 – c. 1701) was a German theologian, mathematician, and writer active in the 17th century. Wagner was born in Nuremberg where his father, Christoph Wagner, was a cantor at St. Egidien. Wagner studied in Altdorf where he defended works on astrological medicine and the occult properties of abbreviations. Unable to find work in Nuremberg he took to published calendars for astrological work. Around 1680 he relocated to Augsburg where he published, among other things, his well-known descriptions of the orient.

This is a beautifully engraved 1687 Johann Christoph Haffner view and map of Ayutthaya, then the capital of Siam (Thailand). The view, composed c. 1665 by Johannes Vingboons, captures the now-ruined city at the height of its golden age as the seat of the Ayutthaya Kingdom (1351 - 1767). Europeans were banned from Siam in 1688, so few first-hand images were available for a public hungry for them. The map illustrates the city at its peak when it was one of the world's largest and wealthiest. (more details)
