Khunovius’ contribution to cartography of Silesia is briefly presented, together with maps of Amsterdam publishers derived from Khunovius models. Discrepancies between his maps as we know them from few extant Bartsch engravings, and maps of the same duchies published in the Low Countries cannot be convincingly explained without invoking to the conjectured earlier Khunovius models. A hypothesis advanced in this paper, assuming existence of such maps (possibly manuscript drawings), is supported by arguments and reasoning based on analysis of the maps’ dedications and on records from early map inventories.

The region of Northern Bohemia has been deeply impacted by surface mining of brown coal. The goal of the current project is to preserve and present spatial data covering the area, which in the last 60 years underwent such a drastic transformation. Analyzed old maps, aerial photographs and the data derived from them (digital relief models, river networks, land use) will be available through an interactive web application. The goal of this article is to present the methods used for the processing, visualization and analysis of the select data. The project uses data from the period before the beginning of industrialization of the area until the present.

The paper deals with quantification of the contents of Fabricius’ map of Moravia originating from 1569 and at the same time analyses the so far unidentified objects depicted in the map. In spite of the long-term interest of researchers in the map, their analyses failed to result in satisfactory conclusions. Based on research of historic sources the author managed to verify or newly identify some locally significant elements in the map. Their inclusion in the map not only documented author’s own experience, but also referred to the historic memory of landscape which does not exist anymore.

The article highlights the most serious factual mistakes and errors in the descriptions of the reproduced maps in the Polish edition of Kevin J. Brown’s A Journey Back in Time Through Maps (Dawne mapy. Podróż w przeszłość, transl. M. Zagrodzki, Warszawa 2019). The author explains in detail the history of creation and facts related to the 16th–18th-century maps such as: Jean Janvier’s Mappe-monde, ou description du globe terrestre (1762), Didier Robert de Vaugondy’s Mappemonde ou description du Globe terrestre (1783), Philippe Buache’s Mappemonde à l’usage de l’instruction (1808), Jodocus Hondius’s Designatio orbis Christiani (1621), Athanasius Kircher’s Tabula geographico-hydrographica (1665), or Johann Baptista Homann’s Accurata Utopiae tabula (after 1724). The evolution of representing the California Peninsula on manuscript and printed maps up to the mid-18th century is briefly discussed.
