Title | Lacus Lamanus |
Map shows Lake Geneva in Switzerland with a compass rose, ship charts and a title cartouche.Lake Geneva, or lac Léman, is the largest lake in both France and Switzerland. Lake Geneva is the largest lake on the edge of the Alps and the second largest lake in Central Europe after Lake Balaton in Hungary. Léman goes back to an Indo-European root meaning “lake”. Caesar and the geographers of antiquity already spoke of the lacus Lemanus. The term Léman was then used again by humanists and cartographers in the 16th century, including Sebastian Münster (1552) and Gerhard Mercator (around 1575). | |
