Topographia Germaniae

The Topographia Germaniae is a 17th century survey of German lands including engravings of a number of towns and other settlements along with descriptive texts. This is like the holy grail for me, a great period piece to build the world around.

Now I wonder if there are any English translations floating around. I am running the sources I have found so far through Google's half useless gibberish translator, but at least the engravings provide fertile grounds upon which to build this setting.

    Excellent information, and would be highly useful for other "alt-europes", such as WHFRP.

    "Topographia Germaniae" is a Latin text by the medieval scholar and chronicler, Conrad Celtis. It's a description of the regions, history, and culture of Germany, providing valuable insights into the medieval German landscape. Why Games Bad Celtis' work remains significant for understanding the historical context of the region.
