Summary

Description
English: A new and extensive geographical description of supernatural phenomena in German and Polish Pomerania.
This is NOT an original old map of Pomerania (although the map itself is close to an Eilhard Lubinus map), but a stylized 21st-century map inspired by "Renaissance cartographic traditions" (although the map's cartography is past-renaissance, showing elements like a late-17th-century cartouche), created using GIS technology and complemented by a hand-crafted linocut (Journal of Maps). Low resolution.
Old maps of Pomerania would not distinguish between "German" and "Polish" Pomerania, would likely use latin names/descriptions throughout the map instead of mixtures of Latin/English/Polish, and would actually place as many names directly in the map as possible, while this map places unnamed dots.
The map is framed by artwork of devils, dragons, apparitions, giants, will'o'wisps, nightmares, werewolves, ghosts, gnomes, household spirits, mermaids and wild hunters.
Latina: Pomeraniae Polonicae et Germanicae phaenomena supernaturalia nova et ampla descriptio geographica. Imaginis: Diaboli, Dracones, Fantasmata, Gigantes, Ignes fatui, Incubi nocturni, Lycanthropi, Manes, Nani, Spiritus domestici, Syrenae, Venatores agresti
