A large, decorative map of the Turkish Empire, covering territories in the Balkans, Anatolia, Levant, North Africa and Arabia. The map includes an inset of the eastern-most provinces in North Africa. It is embellished with a drape-style distance scale cartouche and a large title cartouche decorated by angels, soldiers and the royal French arms. The Latin title appears above the map: "Nova Impreii Turcarum Tabula, ad Usum Serenissimi Burgundiae Ducis."

A sharp impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouches. There are professional repairs to a long tear at left through the Mediterranean and into northern Africa, a 2" tear in Turkey, several separations along the centerfold, and a chip at bottom left with a portion of the border expertly replaced in facsimile. A hole in Egypt has also been professionally repaired with the image replaced in facsimile.
