Dr. Google sais on Ancient Greek calculation of the earth size:
Eratosthenes hired a man to pace the distance between the two cities and learned they were 5,000 stadia apart, which is about 800 kilometers. He could then use simple proportions to find the Earth's circumference — 7.2 degrees is 1/50 of 360 degrees, so 800 times 50 equals 40,000 kilometers.
The Vatican never doubted earth being a ball or its size, but not being the center of existence, which forced Brother Galileo into continuing secrecy.
And maps come in certain shapes. The one looking all different shows correct distances in 2D aka flat.
You intellectual flatliners, you.

PS: The sticker is a Nazi registry marking. That means that Book must have a late hard story. The cover might carry DNA from different gene pools telling it's journey. P583 might be Poznan 583. The Germans still use for their car plates a comparable system in which the letter stands for the town using a second letter for a smaller town of the same starting letter. The number is the item number of the loot. It also shows that the binding had no leather jacket, except that was stolen by an SS man.
