Description:
|
A small map of 'Scotia' by the obscure Dutch printer and publisher Barent Langenes from his 'Caert-Thresoor' of 1598. This atlas contained 169 similarly sized maps in Dutch. The map is situated with west at the top and includes important burghs, village, ferries and some long-forgotten places. It omits some which would normally be expected, such as Stirling, and compresses most areas of the country. Note the proximity of Edinburgh and Berwick, as well as the districts of 'Maria' and 'Marnia' in the Northeast, 'Wylertoune' in the Northwest, and the occasional hilltop. Langenes' 'Caert-Thressor' established the convention of miniature atlases. Further editions were published in 1599 and 1609; the map was also used in Bertius's atlas of 1600.
