Achaia and the Gulf of Corinth by Janssonius
This map was prepared by Johann Lauremberg, a German scholar, mathematician and author of satirical works, who also published under the pseudonym of Hans Wilmsen L. Rost. Lauremberg studied medicine and literature (1613-1616). Lauremberg owes his fame as cartographer principally to his maps of ancient Greece, several of which were incorporated in the Atlases by J. Janssonius (1651), Blaeu (1662), Visscher (1717) and G. Horn (1740). His work in cartography was influenced by the maps of A. Ortelius and G. Mercator, as well as the editions by G.Fr. Camocio, (1571) και Τ. Porcacchi (1572).
The excellent engraving was realized in Janssonius’ press, where engravers D. Van Brenden and S. Rogies worked. The maps are usually accompanied by historical and geographical texts written by Lauremberg himself, in which his erudition shines through.
