Giovanni Francesco Camocio’s Frisiae Antiquissimae Trans Rhenum Provinc et Adiacentium Regionu Nova et Exacta Descriptio, published in 1566, is a rare and intricate map of Friesland and surrounding regions in the Netherlands. Renowned for its detail and artistic quality, this map reflects the cartographic expertise of the Italian mapmaker during the Renaissance.

The map meticulously charts Friesland’s geography, including rivers, coastal areas, and inland regions, with attention to political and natural features. Towns, villages, and landmarks are marked, offering insight into the area’s cultural and economic significance during the 16th century. Decorative elements such as elaborate cartouches, compass roses, and sea monsters add artistic flair, characteristic of maps from this era.

Created during a period of significant exploration and mapping, this work reflects the era’s technological advancements and the growing demand for accurate geographic representations. Friesland, with its maritime importance and strategic location, was a key region for trade and cultural exchange, making this map an invaluable resource for understanding its historical landscape.

Giovanni Francesco Camocio (active mid-16th century) was a Venetian cartographer, engraver, and publisher, renowned for his contributions to Renaissance cartography. As part of the thriving Venetian cartographic tradition, Camocio produced detailed maps, views, and atlases that captured the geographical and political landscapes of his time. His works are celebrated for their precision, artistic quality, and historical significance.
