The "Map of Cambridge" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical map that depicts the city of Cambridge, England, during the late 16th century. This map is part of a larger work, the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates" was compiled and edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Frans Hogenberg, but the Cambridge map is attributed to Joris Hoefnagel, an artist and engraver of Flemish origin who contributed to the latter volumes of the collection.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," often referred to as the "Cities of the World," was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. It was the first systematic collection of urban maps, including over 500 plans and views of cities from around the world. The "Map of Cambridge" is particularly significant as it provides a detailed view of the city during the Elizabethan era, showcasing the layout of streets, buildings, and the famous University of Cambridge colleges.

Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates" is distinguished by his attention to detail and artistic flair. His work on the "Map of Cambridge" not only serves as a valuable historical record but also as a testament to the artistry involved in cartography at the time. The map is an important resource for historians and scholars interested in the urban development of Cambridge and the broader context of Renaissance cartography.

The "Map of Cambridge" from the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" remains an enduring example of the intricate work involved in 16th-century map-making and is an essential piece for understanding the evolution of urban mapping and the representation of cities in early modern Europe.
