Does anyone know where & what this is a map of? It came out of the old #Geology Library 🧪⚒️

Old framed map in faded green or Grey showing natural featuressuch as woods & lakes. Text Boloniac Bars. Maybe B is an W? Full picture of same map.

it's a 1526 map of part of southeastern Europe - you can find Latinized names in Gothic script for Poland (top left), Moldova (top center), Transylvania (upper right), Dalmatia (lower left), etc.

Chorographia Hungarie is the title in the box at the lower right, so it's probably a map of the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 1500s, close to its largest extent and significantly larger than present-day Hungary

I dont read or speak Spanish but it appears to have a connection to Balogna Spain. Did a Google on the title and found an antique tarot deck in a museum. So a place to start. Does the book name give a clue?

This text almost certainly refers to the Battle of Mohács on Aug 29, 1526, where the Ottoman forces under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent defeated the Hungarians led by King Louis II The text's mention of plundering after the battle aligns with the historical accounts of the aftermath of Mohács 2/2

(from Google) Old German script, last section: "Alles fſo in der getailen ſini begriffen iſt/hat der Thurek geplundert/nach dem er die ſchlacht gewonnen het in 1526 jar.": "Everything contained within this division/region, the Turk plundered, after he won the battle in the year 1526". 1/2
