"Hungariae Descriptio Wolfgango Lasio Desc:", Ortelius/Marchetti

Miniature map of Hungary and the surrounding region. The tiny map is centered approximately on Budapest and is filled with place names each symbolized by a tiny castle. The river systems are a bit exaggerated, with the Danube River flowing across the map, beginning at Vienna at top left. Italian text on verso.

Pietro Maria Marchetti produced the second pocket atlas based on Abraham Ortelius' folio Theatrum. It is often referred to as the plagiarized version of the Epitome. The copper plates are closely copied from those of Philip Galle's 1593 Italian edition.
