Biography
The maps were drawn during the Polatsk campaign in 1579. The same year, they were sent to Rome and published by Giovanni Battista Cavalieri in 1580. The Atlas consists of two large maps of the Principality of Polatsk and the siege of Polatsk in August 1579, and six smaller views of the castles captured by the royal army. This was the first Polish atlas.
The recorded working language is Polish.
