This tiny map covers the region from the Baltic to the Black Sea, with red castles marking the major cities and major rivers noted. In the first edition of King's book on miniature maps, he attributed Bucelin's maps to Johann Praetorius who was the publisher of Historiae Universalis Auctorium, which was often bound with the Praecipuarum Universi. Bucelin's maps are very scarce. Latin text on verso.
References: King (2nd ed.) pp. 126-127.
Condition: A
There is some printer's ink residue in the map and some minor chipping of the paper edges, not affecting the map.
