This uncommon map is Jansson's copy of Hondius' map, which in turn was based on Abraham Ortelius' map. The cartography is nearly identical to Ortelius' with a lovely depiction of ancient Greece, western Turkey and the Grecian islands based on the 1545 woodcut map by Nikolaus Sophianos. Jansson updated the decorative elements with two new cartouches. Blank verso, published in Pieter de Hondt's Description Exacte de l'Univers, ou l'Ancienne Geographie Sacree et Profane, a French edition of Georgius Hornius' Accuratissima Orbis Antiqui Delineatio, which included maps from Johannes Jansson's historical atlas and Abraham Ortelius' Parergon.
