About the Item

Original antique map titled 'Circulus Saxoniae Superioris'. Original antique map of Saxony, Germany. The cities of Leipzig, Freiburg and many others are highlighted in gold. This map originates from 'Atlas Novus Terrarum Orbis Imperia Regna et Status Exactis Fabulis Geographice Demonstrans'. Published circa 1720 by J.B. Homann. Johann Baptiste Homann (1664-1724), Nuremberg, was born in Oberkammlach, the Electorate of Bavaria. Although educated at a Jesuit school, and preparing for an ecclesiastical career, he eventually converted to Protestantism and from 1687 worked as a civil law notary in Nuremberg. He soon turned to engraving and cartography; in 1702 he founded his own publishing house. Homann acquired renown as a leading German cartographer, and in 1715 was appointed Imperial Geographer by Emperor Charles VI."
