1743). It illustrates in detail the Ottoman Empire at the conclusion of the Great Turkish War (also called the War of the Holy League, 1683-99). The map thus reflects loss by the empire of most of its European possessions. It also shows the main caravan routes to Mecca and Medina from across the empire. The region shown extends from Italy and the Mediterranean in the west to the Caspian Sea and Persia in the east, and from the Black Sea and Ukraine in the north to the source of the Nile, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Gulf in the south. Accompanying text describes the Ottoman Empire. The map appeared in the monumental seven-volume Atlas Historique (Historical atlas) published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720 by Henri Abraham Chatelain, his father Zacharias Chatelain (died 1723), and his brother, also called Zacharias Chatelain (1690-1754). Many of the maps were based largely on works by the French cartographer Guillaume De L'Isle (1675-1726), but they were collected by the Chatelains and presented in encyclopedic form. The presentation included information not just about geography, cosmography, and topography, but also studies of history, heraldry, ethnography, and local costumes. The maps were published under several different Chatelain imprints. A second edition of the atlas appeared in 1732.
