### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A window into an ancient world that is stranger and more beautiful than we imagined
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2016*

Braun and Hogenberg were two of the most important map-makers of the Early Modern period. This book includes maps from two volumes of their incredible, highly accurate atlases made during the late 16th and early 17th Centuries, covering almost all the major cities of Europe (quite a few of them twice) as well as several in the middle east and as far away as Mexico. The original maps are much bigger than the ones seen here in this small book, but the small size is what allows it to be so amazingly affordable. It is so thick it would also be too heavy to carry around or read if it was much larger.The book itself is hardback, and very nicely bound, and features a built-in ribbon bookmark. It's a collectors item. The images are incredible, beautifully rendered in full color, they often include hidden Easter-eggs and the book includes both the short descriptions from the original atlases, which often also have fascinating tidbits of information, as well as a modern commentary on each town by the editor of this volume. Stephan Fussel did an amazing job with this, it's a treasure, a keeper.  If you like maps at all or have any curiosity about the world of pre-industrial Europe, get this gem while it is still in print, and see what these cities looked like while they still had their original medieval layout. Paris, for example, was an utterly different city when this map was made. Frankfurt am Main looks like something out of Lord of the Rings. Strasbourg looks like an impregnable fortress from Game of Thrones. This is a trip down an amazing rabbit hole.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great book--yes, the reproductions are small, but it's good to have them all in one place.
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016*

Great book--yes, the reproductions are small, but it's good to have them all in one place.  For areas that particularly interest you, books with larger images are available, or you can even buy an original print online (as I did).  This book is very handy for me as a historical novelist imagining cities long ago.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good book just to small to be able to really appreciate the artwork.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020*

The book is well constructed and well assembled. The subject matter and writing are excellent. However they don’t tell you up front how small the book is. I was envisioning something larger, maybe even coffee table size but what I got is rather small. I wanted to study the pictures in detail but they are all either really small or printed across two pages with parts of the images buried deep in the binding.
