Weigel Map of the Caucuses including Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan
An uncommon 1720 map of the Caucuses by Christopher Weigel. This most unusual aspect of this map is its focus on the lands between the Black Sea and the Caspian, commonly known as the Caucuses. In antiquity most of this region was part of the Armenian Empire or Greater Armenia, a vast area of land stretching from Cappadocia and the Mediterranean to the Caspian and as far south as Persia. Later the Empire of Armenia was incorporated into the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and Persia. Today this region is divided between western Turkey, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. This map depicts Armenia at its greatest extant during the Roman Period. A title cartouche in the lower right quadrant includes 9 Roman coins on a decorative column. Published by Christopher Weigel for the 1720 issue of the Senca Historiarum Orientalis .

1736
This is a map of Armenia in the early medieval period. The map accompanies
the printed text of the Latin and Armenian edition of Movses Khorenatzi's "History
of Armenia", which also incorporates the geographical text called "Ashkharhatzuytz"
(World Mirror) attributed here to Movses Khorenaci, but lately attributed to
the seventh-century polymath, Anania Shirakatzi. the Latin translation is by
William and George Whiston and the book was published in 1736, in London.
The map has been drawn taking into consideration the descriptions of "Ashkharhatzuytz".
It shows the 15 provinces of Greater Armenia and their approximate borders.
Lesser Armeni is in Eastern Anatolia, just to the west of Greater Armenia. The
external borders of Greater Armenia are shown by broken lines, while the borders
of the provinces are indicated by dotted lines. The towns shown include "Erivanum" (Yerevan), "Valarsapata"
(Vagharshapat or Echmiadzin), "Arzerum" or "Carin" (the
old armenian name of Erzerum - Karin; in Greek Theodosiopolis), "Vannum"
or "Semiramocerta" (Van or Shamiramakert), "Betlis" (Bitlis),
"Arsamosata" (Arshamashat) and "Naxuanum" (Nakhijevan).
"Mount Ararat" or "Masis" is also shown. The Armenian name
of the River Arax(es) - "Erasches" (Yeraskh) is also mentioned. Comparing
this map with the Ptolemaic version of the same area, it can be noted that the
earlier Ptolemaic maps had an acceptable degree of accuracy.
