Abstract
'Historical Atlas of Poland. Detailed maps of the 16th century'.
The long-term projects implemented at the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Science (Department of Historical Atlas); the publication of maps and relevant critical commentaries.The subject of this review is the volume dedicated to the Greater Polish Voivodeship of Poznań and Kalisz. The first part of the atlas consists of a representative and exquisitely staged main map at a scale of 1:250 000, additional thematic maps at a scale of 1:500 000 and maps of selected towns at a scale of 1:10 000.
The second part contains extensive commentaries and registers, which are indispensable for the full and critical use of the maps. All maps are coloured.
A novelty is the processing of maps in the GIS environment as well as the accompanying and sophisticated digital edition of the tax registers from the second half of the 16th century.
