- Notes:
- A re-engraving, at a smaller size, of George Lily's map of the British Isles (first published in 1546), with a few minor alterations. In this version, the orientation is rotated so that north is at the top of the map.
The publisher and engraver are unidentified.
As this map bears a pontifical privilege, it probably was issued at Rome.
