Description

This map is part of the cartographic work of Petrus Bertius, a Flemish geographer in the service of the French crown. It represents Catalonia and Aragon within a European vision of the territory, with scientific and aesthetic criteria specific to the 17th century. It is a valuable source for studying the geographical perception of the Catalan territory and its integration in the great publishing projects of the time.
