The First Map of Moldova

Rare early map of Moldova, published in Vienna in 1595.

The map appeared in Martinus Bronovius's Tartariae descriptio, ante hac in lucem numquam edita, cum tabula geographica, published in Cologne.  The work is apparently drawn from an early work by Georg von Reichestorffer (1495 - c. 1554), a Saxon humanist , diplomat at the court of Hungary and for Ferdinand I of Habsburg, who is known for his two choreographies, descriptions of his travels, which deal with both geographical - ethnographic and historical - political subjects.
