This handsome map of the region centers on Germany and includes the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, and parts of Poland and Hungary. It is based on the geography of Nicolas Sanson and Guillaume Delisle, and the observations of Tycho-Brahe, Johannes Kepler, and Willebrord Snellius, all of which are noted in the cartouche. The map is very detailed and decorated with title and distance scale cartouches. Alternative title at top: Nova Imperii Germanici Descriptio, in Omnes Suos Circulos, Electoratus, &c: Divisi ad Usum Serenissimi Burgundiae Ducis.
