Answer to question below
When you enlarge this map , you will be able to read Culm (Culmigeria) and Thorn on bottom left of map at Vistula river.
South of Prussia and Thorn is Masovia.
The map is from ucla ca, do not know if we can keep it on ?
I also have map from circa 1540 by Sebastian Muenster, but not on internet.
(trying again)
ok -- we need to figure this one out -- was it in Poland or Prussia when Copernicus was born?
The map means nothing unless it is contemporaneous with Copernicus' birth...
If you will write down your email her, I will email a map from 1547 by Sebastian Muenster
from book :"Ostpreussen damals und heute D. Weldt
ISBN 3-7921-0192-0 (
amazon.com,
search)"
It shows Preussen and Thorn
