Title: Palatinatus Bavariae Descriptio . . . [with] Argentoratensis Agri Descriptio

Map Maker: Abraham Ortelius

Description:

Ortelius' map of Bayern is based on the map by Erhart Reich. The map of the Rhine, both south and north of Strassbourg is based on Daniel Specklin's three-sheet map of the Elzas of 1576. The Bavaria map includes Regensberg, Nuremberg and Bamberg.

From the 1587 French edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the World. Wide clean margins and a nice dark impression.
