Klaudyán, Mikuláš (sold)
Mikuláš Klaudyán (Lat. Nicolas Claudianus, died 1522) was a Bohemian physician and scholar, sometime publisher, and member of the Czech or Bohemian Brethren, a Protestant group formed in 1457 rooted in the teachings of Jan Hus. He printed the oldest map of Bohemia in 1518, hailed by Nordenskjold as 'the first map on which the different religious and political conditions of a country are denoted.'

This is Munster's 1545 map of Bohemia, the earliest acquirable printed map of what is now the Czech Republic. This map appeared in the 1572 Latin edition Munster’s Cosmographia Universalis, a work notable for presenting to a broad lay audience many of the first printed maps based on contemporaneous surveys and toponymy, rather than data from classical sources. Munster’s source for this map was Nicolaus Claudianus’ 1518 map of Bohemia, which now exists in only one known surviving example. Munster's map is the only version of Claudianus' map available to the collector. (more details)

Munster’s source for this map was Nicolaus Claudianus’ 1518 map of Bohemia, which now exists in only one known copy. Munster's map is the only version of Claudianus' map available to the collector.
