Title | Meerwunder und seltsame Thier, wie die in den Mitnächtigen Ländern, im Meer und auff dem Landt gefunden werden. |
Map shows the seamonsters from the stories of the sea explorers and sailors. On reverse representation of a deer and coat of arm of Island. This map is a summery of the seamonsters shown on the Carta marina et descriptio septentrionalium terrarum. (It is the first map of the Nordic countries to give details and place names, created by Swedish ecclesiastic Olaus Magnus and initially published in 1539.) Only two earlier maps of the Nordic countries are known, those of Jacob Ziegler (Strasbourg, 1532) and Claudius Clavus (15th century). | |
