A woodcut map (12.5 x 15.5 cm; 30 x 18.5 cm on the sheet). Map of Greece published in a French edition of the *Cosmographia Universalis* by Sebastian Münster (1489–1552), originally published in German in 1544 and in Latin in 1550, then translated and revised by the polymath and historiographer François de Belleforest (1530–1583).
