Description
This authentic handcolored map is a detailed 17th-century depiction of the Burgundy region, divided into the Duchy of Burgundy ("ducatus") and the County of Burgundy ("comitatus"), created by the noted cartographer Johannes Janssonius. The title "Utriusque Burgundiae, tum ducatus tum comitatus, descriptio" translates from Latin to "A Description of Both Burgundies, both the Duchy and the County."
Published in Amsterdam ("Amsterdami") by Johannes Janssonius himself, this 1644 map is a fine example of cartography from the Dutch Golden Age of exploration and mapmaking. The map features the regions of Burgundy with their historical boundaries, towns, rivers, and other geographical features meticulously outlined. The handcoloring, which was added after printing, highlights certain elements such as boundaries, rivers, and important cities, enhancing both the map's utility and its aesthetic appeal.
The elaborate cartouche (the decorative title block) is ornately illustrated with a coat of arms and figures in period attire, which suggests the importance and wealth of the Burgundy region during this era. Such maps were not only practical tools for navigation and territorial understanding but also works of art and symbols of regional pride.
The map is a testament to the skills of Janssonius and the detailed craftsmanship of the period, providing a historic glimpse into the geography and the art of mapmaking in the 17th century.
The Burgundy region, known for its world-renowned wines, is divided into several key areas, most of which are depicted on this 17th-century map by Janssonius. The prominent wine-producing areas in Burgundy include:
1. **Chablis**: Located in the northern part of Burgundy, it's known for its white wines made from Chardonnay grapes.
2. **Côte de Nuits**: Situated in the northern part of the Côte d'Or, this area is famous for its powerful red wines, primarily made from Pinot Noir grapes.
3. **Côte de Beaune**: The southern part of the Côte d'Or, which produces both red and white wines, but is more renowned for its whites, also primarily from Chardonnay.
4. **Côte Chalonnaise**: South of the Côte d'Or, it produces both red and white wines but is less famous than its northern neighbors.
5. **Mâconnais**: Located in the southernmost part of Burgundy, known for producing a large volume of white wines, including Pouilly-Fuissé.
These areas are known for their distinct terroirs and the quality of the wines they produce. Although the names and boundaries may have evolved since the time this map was created, these regions have long been established as key areas for Burgundy wines. The map likely includes many of the rivers, towns, and perhaps even vineyard areas that are integral to the wine production in Burgundy.
The main cities in the Burgundy region include:
Dijon: The capital city of the historical Duchy of Burgundy and a key urban center in the region.
Beaune: Often considered the wine capital of Burgundy, central to the wine trade.
Mâcon: A city in the southern part of Burgundy, also known for its wine production.
Chalon-sur-Saône: Located in the Saône-et-Loire department, it's an important commercial center, especially during the period of the map's creation.
Auxerre: North of Burgundy, known as a historical town with its own vineyards, close to Chablis.
Nevers: Situated in the Nièvre department, a town known for its historical and cultural significance.
These cities would have been important centers for trade, governance, and culture during the time the map was made
