Two maps on one sheet, Cyprus above and Crete ( Candia ) below, in use in the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum' from 1570 to 1581.
Although a map of Cyprus by Jan van Doeticum was added to the Theatrum in 1573, this map remained in the atlas until a new map of Crete and the Aegean Islands was introduced in 1584.
