2) Alpine and Danube Lands about 1715
We are presenting an old map of Central Europe, extending from the Upper Danube basin with Dalmatia to the Northern Adriatic Sea with the Eastern part of the Alps. No place, no date, one sheet wears the mention "Elias Boeck a. H. sculps. a. V." Elias Boeck or Baeck, alias Heldenmuth (= a. H.), was an engraver and publisher born in 1679, active in Rome, Venice, Laibach or Ljubljana and Augsburg or Augusta Vindelicorum (= a.V.) between 1705 and 1747. That is why this map which shows the main towns, rivers and mountains ranges of modern Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and Eastern Switzerland can be dated from about 1715. Note that this area was the "front line" between the Holy German Empire and the Ottoman Empire and a special care has been brought to the description of the fortified towns.

4) Atlas der islamischen Welt
We are happy to sell, in the Euratlas Shop, a new atlas by Dr Andreas Birken on a red hot subject: 119 pages, 96 highly detailed maps and several charts on geography, peoples, history, politics, and economy of the Islamic World from 622 to 2007 A.D.The atlas is available only in German, but this should not be a great difficulty for those who are used to reading maps.Cartographic documents about Islam are scarce or inaccurate. So this atlas will fill in a gap.
