2014.01.22 Petelei Klára: Descriptio Transylvanie

This book contains every map from Johannes Honterus's Chorographia Tran-sylvaniae Sybembürgen, published in 1532 and showing for the first time Transylvania as a separate region, to Franz Fried Carte de la Transilvanie, printed in 1848. As cartographic historians consider the year 1850 as the end of the classic period of cartography and, therefore we, too, have drawn a line at that date for the contents of our volume.

These maps are not only historic source material, an exact image of an era, and a geographical depiction of Transylvania, but also works of arts, which are pleasing to the eye and enhance our appreciation of culture.
