This double-page woodblock map of Greece and the Aegean Sea has been slightly revised from Munster's original map of the region. It now extends to show the 'boot heel' of Italy and shows less of western Turkey. Major rivers are named and mountains are depicted in typical Ptolemaic fashion. There is a descriptive text box at lower right and a tiny oared ship sails in the Adriatic Sea. German title on verso.
