Willem Blaeu, a renowned Dutch cartographer of the 17th century, did create a map titled "Tartaria sive Magnichami Imperivm" (Tartary or the Empire of the Great Khan). This map was part of Blaeu's extensive atlas collection known as "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theater of the World).

The map depicts the region of Tartary, which encompassed large parts of Central Asia, including present-day Mongolia, China, and parts of Russia. It represents the vast territories associated with the Mongol Empire and the influence of the Great Khan. The map showcases the geographical features, cities, rivers, and political divisions of the region as known at the time.

Blaeu's maps were known for their accuracy and fine craftsmanship. They were highly influential in shaping the understanding of geography during the 17th century. Blaeu's atlases were widely used by explorers, navigators, and scholars of the era.

The map "Tartaria sive Magnichami Imperivm" reflects the European fascination with the mysterious and remote regions of Asia and the legacy of the Mongol Empire. It offers valuable insights into the European perception of Central Asia during the 17th century.

Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) was a Dutch cartographer, globemaker, and publisher. He was born in Alkmaar, Netherlands, and founded one of the most influential mapmaking and publishing companies of the 17th century. Blaeu's maps were known for their accuracy, detail, and decorative elements.

Blaeu's most significant contribution to cartography was his world atlas, titled "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theater of the World), first published in 1635. The atlas consisted of multiple volumes and contained maps of various regions, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The maps in the atlas were based on the latest geographical knowledge and incorporated information from various sources.
