Abstract

In the depths of the treasury of Episcopal Archives in Pécs an 18th century map of Baranya County was found, which bears the title: Map(p)a Inclyti Comitat(us) Baranyiensis. In quo existentia Dominia Coloribus Sequestrata consistit hic Com. IV. Processibus qui pariter sunt designati. The yellow-black neatline indicates that the author of the map was the renowned cartographer Samuel Mikoviny, which increases the value of the map even more. By comparison of the real estate ownership, the map can be dated to the period between 1736 and 1742. Therefore, the newly discovered map can be considered to be the earliest detailed and accurate map of Baranya County.
