MAP OF ARMENIA AND GEORGIA-PARIS 1683

The map was compiled by the 17th-century French geographer Alain Manesson Malle and published in Malle’s encyclopedic work Description de L’Univers, published in 1683 in Paris by Denis Terry. The work consists of five books, and information about Georgia and the Caucasus is presented in the second book. Based on the works of ancient Greek, Roman and medieval European travelers (Strabo, Claudius Ptolemy, Lambert, Tavernier, etc.), the author examined the geographical position, historical past and ethnographic characteristics of Georgia and Armenia. In addition to the presented map, in connection with the Caucasus, the book also includes a map of the ancient era of the Caucasus, as well as engravings “Georgians”, “View of Yerevan” and “Armenians”.
