This exceptional piece is the 1659 Paulus a Lotharinga map of the Italian Alps issued to illustrate ongoing efforts to suppress the Waldensians (Valdesi) sect in the wake of the 1655 'Piedmontese Easter' or the 'Massacre of the Waldensians' - one of the darkest episodes in the European Wars of Religion.
