"Graeciae Pars Septentrionalis Auctore Gullielmo Del'isle", Cluver, Philipp

This map of ancient Northern Greece, Macedonia and Thrace is based on the cartography of Guillaume Delisle, who is credited in the cartouche. It provides fine detail of both topography and towns, ports and roads with ancient place names.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London. This map is from an Amsterdam edition, edited by Bruzen de la Martiniere with maps by Jan Wolters and four newly engraved maps after Delisle.
