"Geographia Synodica sive Regionum, Urbium; et Locorum ubi Celebrata sunt Concilia Oecumenica, Nationalia, Provincialia, et Synodi Dioecesanae Tabula Geographica Secunda Italiam, Galliam, et Angliam Exibens", Sanson, Guillaume

This uncommon and elegantly engraved map locates synods and ecumenical councils in Western Europe and Italy. It covers France and portions of England, Wales, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and more. Corsica and Sardinia are both identified. There are plenty of ancient place names and fine topographical detail. The decorative title cartouche at top right shows religious leaders and their followers.
