Descriptione de la Moscovia per Giacomo Gastaldo piamo[n]tese, Cosmographo in Venetia MDL

 

A very rare map of Russia, engraved by Gastaldi to illustrate the Venetian edition of Baron Sigismund von Herberstein's Rerum Muscoviticarum commentarii. Von Herberstein, a diplomat from the Austrian Imperial Court, was sent to Russia twice ... during which time he gathered enough information to compile a map, first published in Vienna in 1546. Gastaldi appears to have used von Herverstein as a source for his map of Russia in his miniature atlas of 1548 and then engraved this larger version for the Comentari della Moscovia two years later.
