The map of Poland and Hungary was printed by the Italian geographer, humanist and publisher Girolamo Ruscelli (1500-1566) as part of his atlas La Geografia. The copy is part of an edition published in 1574 in Venice and takes over an earlier work first published by Sebastian Munster in 1544. The map includes Transylvania and Banat and the Black Sea appears under the old name of Mar Mazor.
