The monograph was published on the 400th anniversary of the release of the third oldest map of the Bohemian Kingdom (1619). Its publisher was Pavel Aretin of Ehrenfeld, a scribe from Klatovy, who served as secretary to Petr Vok of Rosenberg and later to Václav Budovec of Budov and was thus at the centre of the Bohemian Estates uprising. Later he was forced to go into exile. This comprehensive research analyses the four editions of the map and the differences in the individual versions. The origins of the map are associated with the beginning of a major European conflict, the 30 Years’ War. Only few copies of the map have survived due to its wartime use. In his work, Aretin for the first time determined the area of the Bohemian Kingdom and drew the boundaries of 15 provinces. The scale of the map was expertly cartographically calculated at 1 : 543.580. Further detailed cartometric analyses were carried out and the accuracy of the map series was determined. The second edition of the map (1632) is supplemented by a surviving index with 1,157 toponyms. The third edition was associated with the Prague Publishing House of the Wussin (1665). The last edition is undated and dates back to the late 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries. Similar maps of the Bohemian Kingdom by W. P. Zimmerman (1619) and E. Sadeler (1620) have also been compared. It is assumed that they had the same map original, which, however, has not survived. The derivative works in European atlas production have also been analysed.
The annexes contain three tables (pp. 126-241) which show comparisons of the toponyms of the four editions of Aretin’s map, its two derivatives, and also hydronyms with contemporary geographical names. The work is furnished with 93 images, portraits and maps and is supplemented by copies of 6 maps and a facsimile of the 2nd edition of Aretin’s map.
The book is intended for those interested in historical cartography, toponyms and settlement development in 17th century Central Europe.
