I. Tanulmányok - Deák Antal András: Egy fantomtérképész nyomában

In the Trail of the Phantom Cartographer András Antal Deák The Zagreb State Archives preserve four unsigned hand-drawn maps prepared after the Peace Treaty of Karlowitz, which according to Croatian specialist literature were drawn by Pavao Ritter Vitezovic (Paulus Ritter). The article contends this assertion. Using biographical-related data, it shows that on the one hand no map of Vitezovic sur­vives upon the basis of which it could be claimed that he was of equal calibre with the car­tographer J.C. Müller. On the other, it follows from the role he filled in demarcating boundaries that he was not involved in the drawing of maps but m assisting his Austrian superior in obtaining maps and historical data. Finally, from the maps themselves it can be asserted that they were drawn by a single hand, and by placing them next to each other it can be claimed that three of them are the work of Christoph Müller.
