An attractive decorated map depicting the region of Rugen and the nearby mainland in Germany and modern day Poland including the modern city of Szczecin. This map was first published in Abraham Ortelius’ ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’ in 1584, the first modern atlas of the world. This example with plain back was issued in 1588. It is derived from a manuscript map sent by Petrus von Edeling (1521-1602) to Ortelius on the island of Rugen. Van den Broecke, M. 89b; Meurer pp. 132-3.
