The title of this weeks featured map is:<\/p>\n

Paris depuis Charles V<\/a> jusqu\u2019a Charles IX<\/a>, d\u2019apre\u0300s le plan de l\u2019Abbaye St. Victor.<\/div>\n
OR<\/p>\n
\n
Paris from Charles V<\/a> to Charles IX<\/a>, after the plan of the Abbey St. Victor.<\/p>\n
That’s quite a long time period. In fact, the end of Charles V<\/a> reign is dated at 1380 and the beginning of Charles the IX<\/a> reign is dated at 1560. The additional information in the title referencing that it is after the plan of Abbey St. Victor gives us little help in narrowing down the dates of the map as the abbey was formed circa 1113. Also of note is that this map was published with the text “Tableau de Paris” By Louis-S\u00e9bastien Mercier<\/a> in 1893. This is surely a later revised edition as<\/span> Louis-S\u00e9bastien Mercier<\/a> passed away in 1814.<\/p>\n

To read an edition of this work look below to the embedded Google book<\/a>. The edition is in French but if you copy the URL of the book and paste it in Google’s Translate tool<\/a> you should be able to read it in English. (Tip: Set the text to “Plain Text” located in the upper right before translating<\/span>)<\/p>\n
