This complete set of three volumes records every printed map of Cyprus within a span of 400 years, from ca 1485 to 1885. Along with the image and the technical features of each map, the user can find information on the map's occurrence and/or reoccurrence in various editions, repositories that hold copies of the map and facts regarding its maker(s) and the context of its production, as well as connections with cartographic prototypes and derivatives. Thanks to the detailed comparative descriptions given in this cartobibliography, it is now easier to identify the editions from which some maps of the island were removed and that survive separately in private or public collections.
The first volume is devoted to the 15th and 16th centuries. The second volume is devoted to the 17th century. The third volume is devoted to the 18th century to 1885.
