Cartographic sources: Giovanni Pinandello (1560-1632) drew the Treviso area in a manuscript map some time before 1579, which Ortelius obtained (Meurer 214-215), see also Hessels nr. 217. In the "Catalogus Auctorum" Ortelius also mentions a Treviso map by Paulus Roverius, presumably published in 1591.
