    • This map of Gallipoli in Apulia was published by Merian and his heirs in various works, including the Itinerarium Italiae of 1640, the Archontologia cosmica and editions of the Theatrum Europaeum.

    Merian was born in Basel, but he learned his trade working for Johann Theodor de Bry in Frankfurt, and married de Bry’s daughter.
