"Britannia Prout Divisa Fuit Temporibus Anglo-saxonum, Presertim Durante Illorum Heptarchia" (Britain at the Time of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy) is a significant historical and cartographic work by Joan Blaeu, a renowned Dutch cartographer, atlas maker, and publisher from the 17th century. This work is part of Blaeu's ambitious atlas project, the "Atlas Maior," which is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of cartography. The atlas was first published in multiple volumes between 1662 and 1672 and represented the world through detailed maps and descriptive texts based on contemporary knowledge.

The specific map and accompanying text, "Britannia Prout Divisa Fuit Temporibus Anglo-saxonum, Presertim Durante Illorum Heptarchia," focus on the geographical and political landscape of Britain during the era of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy, a period from the 5th to the 9th century when seven kingdoms (Wessex, Sussex, Essex, Kent, East Anglia, Mercia, and Northumbria) are said to have existed in what is now modern England. Blaeu's work is notable for its meticulous detail, combining contemporary 17th-century geographical knowledge with historical information from the Anglo-Saxon period to create a map that is both a work of art and a valuable historical document.

Joan Blaeu's contribution to cartography and historical documentation through "Britannia Prout Divisa Fuit Temporibus Anglo-saxonum, Presertim Durante Illorum Heptarchia" is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it provides insight into the understanding and interpretation of Britain's historical geography during the 17th century. Secondly, it exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill involved in atlas-making during the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. Lastly, it serves as a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and scholars interested in the Anglo-Saxon period, the history of cartography, and the evolution of geographical knowledge.

As part of the larger "Atlas Maior," this work reflects Joan Blaeu's dedication to producing a comprehensive and accurate depiction of the world, leveraging the extensive network of contacts and sources available to him through the thriving Dutch trading empire. The atlas, and by extension the map of Britain during the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy, stands as a testament to the intersection of art, science, and history that characterized the best of 17th-century European cartography.
