Abstract
On the occasion of the anniversary of the city of Zagreb (1092.–1992.) and the Zagreb diocese (1094.–1994.), a research of the Map of the Zagreb diocese (Mappa Dioecesis Zagrabiensis) has been carried out. The Map, dating back to 1825 was made by Josip Szeman, an episcopal and prefectural land surveyor from 1817 until 1844. On the scale of 1:150 000 the Map contains primarily a complete survey of settlements, religious affiliation of all inhabitants, organization of the Catholic church, as well as a panoramic view of Zagreb, so it is considered to be a first rate cartographic document dating back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Translations of Latin texts and statistical data on the Map and alongside with it are also published in the research. Along with a separately published facsimile of the Map, the translations open up new possibilities for further research of occurrences and conditions of that time in the Central Croatia.
