Die historische Karte von Irland (Hibernia) aus der italienischen Laferi -Schule, die Donato Bertelli, ca. 1560, zugeschrieben wird. Es ist mit Süden an der Spitze ausgerichtet. Regionen wie Momonia und Connacia und Features wie St. Patrick’s Fecatory. Es gibt einige geografische Ungenauigkeiten, die für die Ära typisch sind.

Looks like they reversed East and West.
My god. They nailed it!!
They got the giant sea dog monsters right and everything
Reminds me of the Tabula Rogeriana, a medieval sicilian world map that was *also* upside-down. I suppose it’s all pretty arbitrary which direction you put at the top.
Nearly got Tramore right.
Armagh Metropolis!
Random hills everywhere
Pvrgatorivm S. Patricia – St. Patrick’s Purgatory?
What does the Latin inscription at the top left say?
Derry is to scale.
Kildaria obviously got tired of the North West in the years since then.
Dublinivm is in the wesht!
I think I see Clew Bay with the little islands.
Ah we had more trees than that lads

I’m still trying to find space on my wall for this
I find it fascinating that Clew Bay is on most of the maps of this era, no matter what else is missing.
who would agree to rename the country „Hibernia“ in the event of reunification?
only joking, but it’s kinda cooler TBH
That seal looks like it spent too much time in England.
MOMONIA, Here I Go again.
Any thoughts on Carigium? Would have assumed that Cashel would have been worthy of a marker, but I doubt thats it. Carrick on Suir maybe?
Pretty cool map – ‘love the shading of the hills in particular’ – but ‘some geographical inaccuracies’ is a bit of an understatement, haha.
It’s flipped, so Ulster is at the bottom. And can see great Britain to the left. Armagh is at the bottom. Lough Neagh is the big lake in lower middle, and the lake to right with islands is probably Lough erne. So what’s the purgatorium St Patrick? Can’t think of a landmark that would be to the west of Lough Neagh
Edit: sorry didn’t see OPs explanation. And didn’t know St Patrick’s purgatory was a place! Never heard of it

Google Maps how are ye? No wonder I’ve been getting lost all these years. Sure the maps were all upside down all along.
Is that Lough Foyle though? Lough Neagh forgotten, as maybe it should be.
My dad reckons it looks like a steak and I reckon it’s a ballsack
I wonder did they get sand in Laginia?
Looks like an eggplant
Guessing from the Latin sounding names, South is at the top?
