This small map of Europe contains good detail for its size. There are numerous place names along with rivers and mountains depicted. The map extends to include Iceland and Greenland, the latter of which is shown very close to the northern coast of Norway. This example was published in the unauthorized reissue of Magini's atlas, which was published by Petrus Keschedt with re-engraved plates. Latin text on verso.
