INSULARUM MELITAE Vulgo MALTAE et GOZAE

The map of Malta was published by Nicolaes Visscher II (1649-1702). The island Malta was generally known for its military, religious knight order of the Johanniters who had established themselves on the island. After the Crusades during which they distinguished themselves as hospital helpers, the Johanniters took care to secure the Mediterranean Sea against the Turks.
