Fribergum Misinae.

A fine antique copper engraved antique map - bird's-eye view plan of Freiberg (Saxony) by Braun and Hogenberg, with key to locations and local costumes. From the: 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', ... Part 2, 1575.
COMMENTARY BY BRAUN: "Freiberg is a famous and very beautiful mining town near Meissen; it was built at the place where previously two villages stood, one was called Lossnitz, after the stream that flows there.
The other village was called Christiansdorf. This town grew up because of the mine, for when a carter who was carrying salt from Halle to Bohemia found lead ore here and had it examined in Goslar, it contained more silver than lead ore."
This bird's-eye view shows the mining town of Freiberg in Saxony - in 1346 the first free mining town in Germany - with several silver mines in full operation (left).
In the upper right-hand corner the late Gothic parish church of St Peter (B) can be seen, and to the left of it the town hall dating from the first half of the 15th century (I), further left the big church of St Nicholas, also in the late Gothic style (L), and below the cathedral (Thumkirch). Next to the city wall at the bottom of the plate is the castle of Freudenstein (I), built by Margrave Otto of Meissen in 1168 as a fortress to protect the silver mines that were beginning to flourish at that time (Taschen).
The engraving is made after a woodcut of Münster's 'Cosmographia', 1550.

The 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum', or the "Braun & Hogenberg", is a six-volume town atlas and the greatest book of town views and plans ever published: 363 engravings, sometimes beautifully colored. It was one of the best-selling works in the last quarter of the 16th century. Georg Braun wrote the text accompanying the plans and views on the verso.
A large number of the plates were engraved after the original drawings of Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1600), who was a professional artist. The first volume was published in Latin in 1572, the sixth volume in 1617. Frans Hogenberg created the tables for volumes I through IV, and Simon van den Neuwel created those for volumes V and VI. Other contributors were cartographer Daniel Freese, and Heinrich Rantzau.
Works by Jacob van Deventer, Sebastian Münster, and Johannes Stumpf were also used. Translations appeared in German and French.
