This detailed map of the Burgundy region is from Jaillot's 'Atlas Nouveau' first published in 1681. In preparation for a number of years this map was first available separately in 1675. This is a later state with the date altered to 1696. Jaillot (1628-88) was the leading French cartographer of the late seventeenth century. The map centres on Besancon and extends to Lake Geneva in the south. Pastoureau Jaillot I no. 12; Shirley 'Atlases in the BL' T.Jai 1a no. 11.
