CHERSONESI QUAE HODIE NATOLIA

CLUVER, Philipp

Leiden, 1697

20 x 25 cm.

A map of Turkey, from an early eighteenth century printing of Philipp Cluver’s Introductio in Universam Geographicam. The map is ostensibly a map of the Anatolian peninsula in the classical period, as almost all of the place names, regions, and other geographical details are ancient rather than modern. In the top right corner, the title banner is held up by a putto.
