Reference 12421
Schlaraffenland means Land of Cockaigne in German and represents a country of idleness and luxury. This is a totally imaginary map, but constructed in conventional forms. The map is divided in 19 provinces, each refers to a vice or a sin:
- Senectas regio (doter land)
- Iuventae Regnum (youth land)
- Stultorum regnum (fool land)
- Bibonia Regnum (carouser land)
- Magni Stomachi Imperium (land of large stomach)
- Pigritarium regio (sluggard land)
- Terra Sancta Incognita (wishful thinking land)
- Mammonia (niggard land)
- Schlaraffenland
- Tartaria regnum (empire of hell)
- Res Publica Veneria (land of bawdiness)
- Lusoria (land of gambling)
- Iuronia regnum (curse land)
- Lurconia Regnum (gourmandise land)
- Prodigalia regnum (waste land)
- Insulae Negromanticae
- Insel Tobaco
After Koeman, this example seems to be the original edition published in 1700/10. The more common editions of this map by Homann and Seutter appeared a few years later.
