This handsome map covers Hungary, eastern Transylvania, and Bulgaria. Ortelius based this map on Wolfgang Lazius' 1556 five-sheet wall map. It is densely engraved with rivers, lakes, mountains, and hundreds of place names, each represented by a tiny castle. Tiny animals fill the blank spaces. The title spans the top of the map in a strapwork cartouche. At bottom right is a large decorative cartouche containing the rules for Hungarian consonant pronunciation of the place names. French text on verso.
