Abstract
The contribution recalls the 3rd map of the Kingdom of Bohemia under the name New and exact description of the Kingdom of Bohemia (original: Regni Bohemiae nova et exacta description) by Paul Aretin of Ehrenfeld, which was published in 1619 in Prague. It briefly introduced the character of the publisher and probably also the author of the map.
It showed the basic structure of the map and the differences in 4 editions (1619, 1632, 1665 and undated). It was printed from 2 copper plates and further edited.
The map scale was counted to 1 : 543 580. It represents the political division into regions for the first time.
The map offers 1,200 toponyms. The legend describes towns, villages, mines, spas and glassworks, interesting both for economic and historical geography.
The figural decoration has ethnographic content capturing the structure of the Bohemian population in the 17th century. Then it focused in more detail on the 2nd edition from 1632, which is in possession of Map collection of the Faculty of Science, Charles University.
The index was preserved only with the 2nd edition. A new map of the Kingdom of Bohemia then appears almost 100 years after Aretin, in 1712 from the workshop of Mauritius Vogt, a member of Cistercian Order.
