"Macedoniae et Thessaliae Regiones", Cluver, Philipp

This handsome map shows the historical regions of Macedonia and Thesalia in northern Greece. The title cartouche is themed on the ancient military heroes of the region.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London. This map is from an Amsterdam edition published by Jan Wolters.
