The second of two single page maps of Bavaria, Germany published by Abraham Ortelius in the ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’. This one is distinguished by the title being at the bottom of the map. It is derived from the map by Erhart Reich published in woodcut in 4 sheets in 1540. Regensberg is easily identified near the centre with ‘Nurnberg’ to the left of the map. Paired with it is a map of the region surrounding Strasbourg. It is derived from Daniel Specklin’s three-sheet map of the Alsace issued in 1576. This French text issue was published in 1598. Van den Broecke 112; Karrow 63.
