An interesting topical regional map for the period, with a Etymological Explanation of various prefixes and terminations and formationve syllables of many of the place names, including words in Turkish, Tartar, Russian, Persian, Arabic, Slavonic, and Hungarian. The many Balkan Republics and Southern Russian Republics are shown, along with the Transcaucasian regions, Greece and Asia Minor. A fabulous map.
