CENRTICI HYPOTHESES ORG - ROSE OF BOHEMIA  by Jack Keilo (Jacques Keilo) 

EXCERPT:  Today our map is the HOHEMIAU ROSA by CHr,. Vetter, Vienna, 1668, a map representing Bohemia s a rose centered on Prague.

Rush to this sight which is truly fascinating. it shows how art and maps were used for the purpose of ethnocentricity, and of course it concerns also Hungary and national identity.
