Besides well-known Friuli (with capital Udine) Mercator who made this map also shows us Istria, Krain (historic Slovenia, with Laubach), Windisch Marck (also Slovenia) and in the west, even the lagoon of Venice. To the east lie the islands of Cherso (Cres), Vegia (Krk) and Arbei (Rab). The strange seasonal lake Cernika is prominently displayed. The north is bordered by River Drava. The Dolomits are molehills with Doblach (Dobbiaco) as the main site. Mercator published the map already in his Atlas of 1589. This example comes from the French Mercator-Hondius atlas 1613/1616. Wolfgang Lazius was the main source for the Mercator map. The scale bar is in miliaria COMMUNIA italica, the scale is 1: 750,000.
