Tabula Hungariae

It shows the settlements and landmarks of the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 16th century.

The southern areas occupied by the Ottoman Empire are marked with different colors.

As the only covered parts outside the border are in the south, it is thought that the purpose of the creation of the map was the preparations for the war against the Ottomans.

Some of the settlements shown on the map vanished during the years of Ottoman wars and oppression.

The map was printed with the aid of Georg Tannstetter, was paid by Johannes Cuspinianus, in the press of Petrus Apianus in Ingolstadt.
