The map titled  "Albaniae Descriptio" map created by Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, an Italian cartographer and engraver, in the late 17th century. This map is known for its detail and accuracy for the time period it was created in.

The map provides a depiction of the geographical layout of Albania, highlighting various cities, towns, rivers, and other geographic features. It was part of a series of maps created by Cantelli da Vignola, which aimed to represent different regions of Europe and the world during that era.

Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola (1643–1695) was an Italian cartographer and engraver known for his detailed and decorative maps created during the late 17th century. He was born in Modena, Italy, and his work was a part of the flourishing cartography of the time, which aimed to accurately depict geographical knowledge and convey it in an artistic and visually appealing manner. 

Cantelli da Vignola's most famous work is the "Teatro del Mondo" atlas, which was published posthumously in 1696 by his widow, Maria Magdalena Hertz. This atlas consisted of 37 maps covering various regions of the world. The maps were known for their meticulous detail and ornamentation, often featuring intricate cartouches, illustrations, and decorative elements.

Cantelli da Vignola's cartographic work was influenced by the prevailing Baroque style of the time, characterized by its ornate and lavish design. His maps were not only used for geographical purposes but were also appreciated for their aesthetic value.

One of the notable maps from the "Teatro del Mondo" atlas is the "Albaniae Descriptio" map, which depicted the geographical layout of Albania in the late 17th century. This map, like others in the atlas, combined accuracy with artistic flair, making it a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and map enthusiasts.
