A six-sheet wall map of the Balkan theatre of the War of the Holy League

Although the title of the map relates to the course of the Danube River, Coronelli's intention was to show the theatre of the War of the Holy League (or Great Turkish War), 1683-99. Besides geographical features Coronelli includes historical data: many towns and cities have a list of the dates they were captured by the Turks or the Europeans. These give clues to the dates of the engraving: for example it notes Belgrade's capture by Duke Maximilian of Bavaria in September 1688 but not its recapture by the Turks in October 1690. A contemporary hand has added two more imperial victories in 1693, at 'Giulia' and 'Desno' in Hungary. Typically Coronelli is expecially proud of his home city's victories: next to the martial title cartouche is a list of Venice's conquests in Dalmatia, 1682-88.
