About the Item
This hand-colored map, titled "Paderbornensis Episcopatus Descriptio Nova," depicts the Bishopric of Paderborn, a historical ecclesiastical territory within the Holy Roman Empire, located in present-day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Created by Johannes Gigante Ludolphus, the map was engraved and published by Willem and Joan Blaeu in Amsterdam as part of their renowned *Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive Atlas Novus* in the mid-17th century.
The map is richly detailed, showing the towns, rivers, forests, and mountains of the region, with an emphasis on its ecclesiastical and political divisions. Heraldic crests and coats of arms are prominently displayed, representing the bishopric's administrative authority. The title cartouche and decorative elements highlight the artistry typical of Blaeu maps, blending cartographic accuracy with visual elegance.
