The focus of the map is on the Swedish-Finnish
Lappmark
regions and their relation to the surrounding area. The
red colour on region borders and names is added by me for clarity.
There are a number of errors in the names on the map. Some of them, like Torrelapmark for Tornelapmark, Criania for Cajania and Jorengi for Joxengi was already present in the Latin original. Others are due to carelessness in the interpretation of it, like the original’s Iukas T. (representing Jukas Trask) being misread as Lucaſt. Two changes are more deliberate: Finmarchia seu Finlappia is replaced by Finlapland and the garbled Latin description of Trinnis is rather freely translated, correcting several egregious errors.
In addition, there are some omissions. Three names present on the
Latin map is lacking on the English version, and on some towns
,
the circle is missing on the latter. Conversely, there are two such
icons present on both maps without names. The region to the southeast of
Kemi Lappmark is unnamed on both maps. In the table below, the form used
in the main text, Carelia
, is inserted for completeness.
