"Silesiae Typus". Copper etching by Martin Heilwig in recent coloring. Dedicated to Nicolaus Rhedinger.

Heilwig (Neisse 1516 - 1574 Breslau) was a student of Luther and Melanchthon. He etched and published this map in 1561 in Neisse as a single sheet map. The cartouche is bearing this date, although the map at hand was published by Abraham Ortelius in the first edition of his "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" only in 1570 and 1571. In later editions this map was replaced by a slightly modified map by the same author (posthumously). An ornate border was added and some of the geographical and spelling mistakes eliminated. Since this map was published only in the two first editions it is very rare.

The actual map size is comparatively small on the entire page size. This makes for extremely wide margins all around. This map has some faults which need mentioning: Left and right corner in the wide margin have been (well) replaced. Four holes alongside centerfold within image and two in lower margin have been equally well repaired. The repairs in the image have been very professionally executed and are visible only when the map is held up against a light. Some fraying and two small missing paper pieces in margin as well as a general patina conclude the summary of this description.We offer this map in spite of these drawbacks, simply because of its rarity.
