This splendid map of the Abruzzi, in its initial state, by Barent Langenes, first appeared in the 1598 edition of the atlas Caert-Thresoor, published in Middelburg. It was subsequently republished by Petrus Bertius in his Tabularum Geographicarum, starting from 1600.
This small but detailed engraving represents one of the earliest geographical depictions of Abruzzo at a time when the region was still an integral part of the Kingdom of Naples. Despite its compact size, the map reflects the accuracy and editorial ambition of Langenes' collections, intended for an educated and curious audience. The presence of main place names, rivers, and stylized relief offers a visual insight into the organization of the Abruzzo territory at the end of the 16th century, making it a valuable document for the history of Italian cartography.
