Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines a map printed in Amsterdam in 1720 by Piscator Jr. It is of considerable interest from the point of view of historical geography for studying the densely populated Russian North with a huge number of towns and villages, temples and monasteries, many of which are now lost. The main topic of the work is the study of rich factual material and the clarification of a number of toponyms, which Dutch masters often wrote down, significantly distorting the Russian names.
