Kreibich's copy of Claudianus' illustrated broadsheet with a map

Publication |

Abstract

The contribution introduces and compares manuscript and printed Kreibich's copy of Claudianus' illustrated broadsheet with a map of the Czech Kingdom from 1518. It summarises the existing research in this area.

It focuses in detail on differences and changes between the two cartographic monuments. The amount of the difference rather confirms that the manuscript of the map stored in the Map Collection of the Faculty of Science of Charles University was probably not a direct model for the printed version, which was published as an annex to the Bílejovský's Church Chronicles in 1816.
