Paraguay in partes suas praecipuas divisum
Attractive map of the old Spanish region of Paraguay which includes modern Uruguay and part of Argentina.
As with most of these early maps of the regional South America, the map is sourced from Johannes de Laet's important work on the New World.
This particular example is unusual as it was issued in the only German edition of the work issued by Johann Zunner in 1679. This edition can be distinguished by the use of Latin in the title cartouche as opposed to French.
