LIVONIÆ NOVA DESCRIPTIO

Jan Portant: “Livoniæ nova descriptio / Ioanne Portantio auctore” in two versions of a
map often credited to Ortelius, whereas the reality is that Ortelius, De Jode, and many
others, made small changes to Portant’s 1573 map. See the 1600 map’s changes in the
cartouche.

Attributed to Ortelius by the National Library of Latvia:
