    Default Map of Croatia from the 17th Century

    The map was created at the workshop of Joannes Blaeu in Amsterdam as an addition to the work by Ivan Lucic, "De Regno Dalmatiae et Croatiae libri sex", Amsterdam, 1666. Blaeu had inserted the map in Atlas Maior in 1667, and dedicated it to the Croatian ban Petar Zrinski (bottom of the map, in the middle):

    Fortune favors the bold.

    In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

    The map is called "Illyricum hodiernum" (Illyricum Hodiernum Quod Scriptores communiter Sclavoniam, Itali Schiavoniam, nuncupare Solent, in Dalmatiam, Croatium, Bosnam, et Slavoniam distinguitur), including the coat of arms of Bosnia, Dalmatia, Slavonia and Croatia.

    Be creative, invent a perversion.
