Anonymous, undated illustration of Constantinople

probably between 1550 and 1650, as it is similar to a lot of maps of the 1570s-1610s era. Inscription below picture reads, translated to English: A: Pillar, 24 klafter (47-73m, Column of Constantine?) high. B: Is also a pillar from storyful stone (historical, or inscribed with stories?). C: House of the Patriarch. D: St. Lucas temple. E: St. Peters Temple. F: here is the cannon which the Turk has taken from Belgrad (Greek Whitecastle), Rhodos and Budapest (Ofen). G: Jewish and Turkish Cemetary/Funeral. H: The Turks amassing for turmoil ("Aufruhr" meaning 'rebellion' in modern German, but here likely means 'war'.)
