= Only parts 3/ 4 and 7/ 8 of this rare map. Van der Krogt/ Koeman I, 0940/2:1 and 0940/4.1. Shirley, Mapping of the World 212: "The Peutinger Table represents the imperial roads and posts throughout the Roman Empire at about 250 A.D. The only surviving manuscript is believed to have been made at Colmar in 1265. Its name derives from Konrad Peutinger, the sixteenth-century German humanist who once owned it. (...) The form of the map is essentially that of a practical route map in strip form."
