"Lemovicum, Auctore Jo. Faiano M.L. Lymosin [on sheet with] Topographia Limaniae, Auctore Gabriele Simeoneo", Blaeu, Willem

This sheet includes two maps side-by-side, each with separate title cartouches. The map at left follows the work of physician Jean Fayen and shows the region surrounding Limoges, extending as far south as Brive-la-Gaillarde, west just past St. Junien, and east to the Dordogne River. At right is a map based on the work of Gabriel Symeoni, which follows the Allier River, a tributary of the Loire River, with the cities of Clermont-Ferrand and Beauregard-l'Évêque. Dutch text on verso, published between 1642-64.
