This tiny map is a scarce derivative of the Ortelius' map of the Persian Empire. It covers from the Caucasus through Chinese Tartary and from Arabia to the Indus River. The Taurus and Naugracort mountains form a ropelike barrier across the map and the major rivers and cites are located. In the first edition of King's book on miniature maps, he attributed Bucelin's maps to Johann Praetorius who was the publisher of Historiae Universalis Auctarium. Latin text on verso.

There is some expert paper restoration in the margins and one area inside the map in Arabia with a couple of skilled lines of facsimile. These are indistinguishable except when held up to a strong light.
