The majority of the map displays the region of central France to the west of Nevers centred on the town of Bourges. An inset to the right details the region immediately to the north of Lyon. It is derived from the work of Gabriel Symeoni (1509-70) in 1561 and was published in Abraham Ortelius’ ‘Theatrum Orbis Terrarum’, the first modern atlas, from 1573. This example with Spanish text to the verso was published in 1602. Karrow p. 114-15; Van der Broecke 39.
