"The map includes one of the earliest depictions of Scandinavia and the Baltic Coast, extending to Russia in the east and Ireland and England in the west. In the south, the map extends south of the Alps to Istanbul, Venice and the northernmost coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Schedel's map is a cartographic landmark. As noted by Ginsberg, Schedel's map is perhaps best characterized as: The first modern map of northern and central Europe. The map ranges from the British Isles to Constantinopel. The designer has been identified as Hieronymus Munzer (1437-1508), who trained as a physician . . . The Munzer map is one of the earliest to depict the Scandinavia peninsula. Nordenskold credits the map of the north in the Zamoyski codes as the prototype for this map. The source for the Central European portion is a manuscript ma circa 1460 of Germany by Cardinal Nicolas Cusanus, printed posthumously at Eystatt in 1491." (Ruderman, 2021)

Note
"Protestant theologian Heinrich Bunting's map showing Europe as a queen is one of the most sought after anthropomorphic maps of the 16th Century. The depiction of Europe as a queen began in the 14th Century. Europe was named for princess Europa (Daughter of Phoenicia), who had been carried off and raped by Zeus. The earliest depiction of Europe as a woman is believed to be by the 14th Century Pavian Cleric Opicinus de Canistris for the papal court, then at Avignon. The woman represents the Mother Church, who is being seduced from the true path. In 1537 the Tirolese cartographer Johann Putsch celebrated the Hapsburg rule over Europe by presenting a placid "Europa Regina" wearing Charles V's Spain as a crown and Ferdinand's Austria as a medal at her waist, representing the triumph of the Hapsburgs. The queen's crown (Spain), orb (Sicily), and heart (Bohemia), form a triangle that directs the viewer's eye away from eastern Europe toward the West. The British Isles are a shapeless blob perched near her shoulder. Her skirt is composed of the Baltics and Greece; Turkey and Russia are beneath her feet. Later editions of Europe as a queen were issued by Sebastian Münster, Heinrich Bunting, and Matthias Quad." (Ruderman, 2022)
