The map "ravensberg comitatus", "county of ravensberg", is part of the map "comitatus marchia et ravensberg", "county of mark and ravensberg", from the atlas "theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, atlas novus in quo tabulae et descriptiones omnium regionum", which roughly translates as "theater of the world/world theatre or new atlas with maps and descriptions of all regions". It was produced by the dutch cartographers and engravers willem janszoon blaeu and joan blaeu. The map comes from a latin edition that was printed from 1645 onwards. As early as 1635 there was a precursor in dutch, german, french and latin. From 1662 onwards the constantly expanded atlas was considered the atlas maior, i. E. The most important and main atlas of the western world. It is best known as the blaeu atlas. To view the full map "comitatus marchia et ravensberg" click here: http://www. Library. Ucla.
