Pub Note:
"Wolfgang Lazius produced the first set of maps of the hereditary lands of the Austrian Crown. It was published in Vienna, 1561 by Michael Zimerman under the title TYPI CHOROGRAPHICI pROUIN: AUSTRIAE. Lazius was an outstanding figure among the humanists teaching at Vienna University during the middle decades of the 16th century -a man whose wide knowledge and powerful mind were without equal an1ong his contemporaries. The first German 16th century cosmographer, Sebastian Munster (1489-1552) knew ofLazius' work, and in the preface to his cosMO-GRAPHEI, published in Basel in 1550, paid tribute to his cooperation. In the chapter on Austria he says (in the section dealing with Vienna): ' ... The most learned and revered Doctor W olfgangus Lazius, pro-fessor in the university in this city, a gentleman greatly devoted to -and an assiduous explorer of -all things ancient, old histories and the olden times.' Lazius had by then taken the place of Munster's .erstwhile assistant, Johann Vogelin, professor of mathematics and astronomy in the Uni-versity of Vienna. He had the satisfaction ofhaving his maps reprinted and included in their books of maps by his contemporaries Abraha1n Ortelius (1570 et seq.), Gerard de Jode (1578) and others. After that, his work was not mentioned again for a century and a half. It was only in 1724 that Eberhard Daniel Hauber5 made reference to a number of maps by Lazius, the existence of which had by then virtually been for-gotten. There were even those who actually doubted that the maps had ever existed. Raimund Duellius, a member of the Chapter of the ~ugustine monastery of St. POlten in Lower Austria, therefore de-cided to have the Typi reprinted. It is not known, however, whether any copies have survived. 8 He was able to use the originals belonging to the Augustine monastery at St. Andra an der Traisen, near Herzo-genburg in Lower Austria, and the Bibliotheka Windhagiana in Vienna. The rarity of the Typi is mentioned by Khautz.9 Although Johann Christoph Freiherr von Aretin 10 commented in great detail on the map of Bavaria which forms part of the Typi, it was not until 1886 that Carl Edler von Haradaµer15 drew attention to Lazius' collection of maps. AlbrechtPenck17 also commented on the work in 1891. In that year the Typi was, moreover, shown at an exhibition arranged in Vienna in connection with the Ninth German Geographical Congress, and a paper on the work was presented by Haradauer.16 After Joseph von Zahn19 had commented on the Typi in 1895 and ordered a reprint to be made of its map of Styria, Eugen Oberhummer and Franz von Wieser published the beautiful work U-' of1~a11l Lazius Kartell der Oster-reichische11 Lande und des Ko11igreiches U11gan1 aus dell Jahrell 1545-156~ -:1nlasslich des 50 jiihrige11 Bestehe11s der k.k.
