EDITORS COMMENTS
Anthony Jenkinson's Russiae, Moskoviae et Tartariae descriptio, created in the 1560s, is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the geographical knowledge of the Russian lands during the Renaissance. This black and white, pictorial map is a copy from the atlas "Atlas Aziatskoi Rossii," published in St. Petersburg in the 1910s. The original map was printed in the cartographic workshop of Ivan Y. Gashek. Jenkinson, an English merchant and explorer, traveled extensively in Russia and the surrounding regions during the mid-16th century. His map reflects the limited knowledge of the time, with inaccuracies and misconceptions common in cartography of the era. The map is divided into three parts: Russia, Moskovia, and Tartaria. The map includes various geographical features, such as rivers, mountains, and cities, as well as figures of animals, including bears, elk, and deer. The map's lettering is in Latin, with the title "Russiae, Moscoviae et Tartariae Descriptio" encircling the border. The map's central location is the meeting of the frontiers of Russia, Moskovia, and Tartaria, with Moscow at the heart of the map. The map's historical significance lies in its contribution to the early cartographic record of Russia and the surrounding regions. Today, this precious map is part of the Library of Congress's collections, a testament to the rich heritage of cartography and the exploration of the world during the Renaissance.
