This is a 1570 / 1592 Abraham Ortelius map of Slovenia, Istria, Croatia, and a portion of Bosnia, based on an earlier map by Augustin Hirschvogel, published in the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. At the time, these lands stood on the disputed borders of the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire, a contest referred to in toto as the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. More specifically, this map was published when the Kingdom of Croatia faced Ottoman threat during the 'Long Turkish War' (also known as the Thirteen Years' War). (more details)
