The Amsterdam edition of the map from 1613, along with other sources, suggests the existence of an earlier edition dated by Stanisław Alexandrowicz to around 1603. The appearance of the first edition and the extent of its similarity to the second remain matters of cautious hypotheses. It has been suggested that the first edition of the map might have been adorned with city views of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, created by Tomasz Makowski, some of which have survived. There is also reason to believe that the second edition of the map, prepared in Amsterdam by Hessel Gerritsz, may have been decorated with miniatures depicting cities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Evidence for this includes a miniature of Vilnius that William Blaeu placed on his 1608 map of Europe, sourced from a print of Vilnius by Tomasz Makowski. In 1604, during a study trip, the sons of Mikołaj Radziwiłł delivered at least three „maps of Lithuania” to colleges in Prague, Regensburg, and Augsburg. In 1686, Jakob Koppmayer published the four-volume Theatrum Cosmographico-Historicum in Augsburg, illustrated with maps and engravings. One of its sources was the Radziwiłł map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, either directly or through the second edition. In addition to city views of Vilnius, Kaunas, Biržai (two depictions: the town with the castle and the castle alone), Grodno, Kleck, and Olyka (castle), the publication includes a map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and a map of the Dnieper River. Comparing these images with the original sources allows for the formulation of new hypotheses regarding the first and second editions of the Radziwiłł map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The article shows the transformation of ethnographic borders into the state ones as a process caused by social and political needs.

ProCons. Elbing" was first reported by Wojciech Kret in weekly paper Wiadomości №27 of 19721, published in London by Polish political emigrants. The author of the map was the Prussian historian from Elbing, Israel Hoppe (1601–1679), known primarily for his book "History of the First Swedish-Polish War in Prussia, 1626–1636."
Wojciech Kret's note contained an image of a map from Victor Emmanuel III National Library (Naples, Italy), but given the scale of the reproduction, the illustration gave only a general idea of the map. Kret not only reported on the map itself, but also listed the possible primary sources, on which Israel Hoppe's map was based. Nearly 50 years have passed since the publication and, as far as we know, no one else has researched the map during that time. In this article we publish a high-quality image of the map and try to supplement Wojciech Kret's.

The album allows seeing the development of Minsk for more than two centuries. The edition includes some rare maps of the 13th-20th century of Eastern European cartography and all-important plans of Minsk (from the middle of the 17th.). Some sources are being introduced into wide circulation for the first time. Images of maps and plans are accompanied by an extended scientific text. The text is based on a thorough study of the sources.
