This detailed engraved map, titled "CARINTHIAE DVCATVS. ET GORITIÆ PALATINATVS. WOLF. LAZIO" (Duchy of Carinthia. And County of Gorizia. Palatinate of Wolf. Latium), was created by Abraham Ortelius. Published in 1573, it appeared in the 1573 Additamentum I to his groundbreaking "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World). The map provides an intricate representation of the historical regions of Carinthia (Austria), Gorizia (Italy), and adjacent areas, including Istria, Trieste, and Zara. It meticulously details mountains, rivers, and numerous towns and settlements, reflecting the advanced cartographic knowledge and precise engraving of the 16th century.

Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer, celebrated for compiling and publishing the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" in 1570, which is widely regarded as the first true modern atlas. His meticulous compilation of maps from various sources, presented in a uniform format, revolutionized cartography and made geographical knowledge accessible to a broad European audience. Ortelius's precise work significantly influenced subsequent mapmaking and remains a cornerstone of cartographic history.
