This map of Transilvania is derived from that of Sambucus 1566 itself drawn from Honter in 1532. This example with Latin text to the verso is from the first 1580 edition. Within five years of first publication Ortelius had to replace the plate with this one. This is a fine example of the first state of four. The map extends to cover parts of Poland, Slovakia, Romania & Hungary. Karrow 65/1 pp. 459-60; Meurer p. 226; Van den Broecke, M. #153.1.
