This handsome map of southern Italy features a legend identifying cities of various sizes, archbishoprics, bishoprics, universities, and castles. The map is embellished with a lovely vignette of a smoking Mt. Vesuvius and the coastline of Naples, as well as a decorative title cartouche featuring two large arachnids, woodwind instruments, and sheet music. Likely engraved by Michael Kauffer, who engraved the maps for this atlas, although his imprint does not appear here.
