This map of Poland is based on a four-sheet woodblock by Heinrich Zell published in Nuremburg 1542. One of the sources for that map is believed to be Copernicus, a native of Prussian Poland. This is one half sheet map with sufficient margins. It is the earliest of Ortelius’ maps of Poland. It was replaced by a folio map in 1584. Van den Broecke (1996) 88b; Jãger (1982) p. 49; Karrow (1993) 84/2.3.
