Summary

Description
English: Oldest known map of the Valais, drawn by Johannes Schalbetter, printed by Sebastian Münster in Basel, 1545–1552. 26.0 x 34.0 cm.

Blumer, Bibliographie der Gesamtkarten der Schweiz, entry 23.

The map faces south. It only shows the central portion of the Valais, from Leuk to Saint-Maurice, cutting off the Upper Valais communes of Goms, Brig, Visp and Raron. The Matterhorn is prominently labelled Mons Silvius / Augstal berg. The Great St Bernard Pass is shown top right, the Gemmi Pass bottom left.

Valesiae Altera et VII, Nova Tabula.
Efficit haec tabula cum priori unam Valesiae integram descriptionem, poteruntque simul compingi, ut totius uallis situs unico aspectu lectoris oculis appareat. Quod autem Germanica lingua illam cu.dgauimus, nouatis nos illam parasse pro Cosmographia germanice scripta, nec licuit ob multos labores simul irruentes illam latine reddere, etiamsi pauca sint uocabula, potissimum montium & uallium, que fuerant latine uertenda
