Summary

[edit]
Description

Moscow in 1597-1599. The text in the top right is a description of the city in Latin, the first part of which roughly means this:
"Dear readers, in this map OF THE CITY OF MOSCOW, you see four parted sections, or four fortifications of walls: of which the innermost is called KITAYGOROD, which is the city, thereby closely lies the fort, or Palace, of closed walls, which is called KREMLENAGRAD[...]"
below that there's a list of places marked with numbers on the map. The first one is the Church of the Holy Trinity, with a brief description of the palm sunday ritual.
In the top left you see the shield ("escutcheon") from the Great Coat of Arms of the Russian Empire

Русский: «Петров чертеж». План Москвы 1597-1599 года.

Данный план относится к одним из самых ранних. Он весьма напоминает весьма схожий с ним план Феодора Борисовича. Как и другие планы времен Годунова и после него, он примечателен тем, что выполнен в несколько непривычной для нас ориентации. С точки зрения современных картографов, его следовало бы повернуть на 90 градусов против часовой стрелки.

Вокруг истории этого плана существуют разночтения. Н.М.Молева в книге «Москвы ожившие придания» относит его к периоду между 1597 и 1599 годами, а первое издание датирует 1662 годом (во втором томе «Космографии» Блавиана в Амстердаме). В книге «Архитектурные ансамбли Москвы XV - начала XX веков», изданной под редакцией Т.Ф.Саваренской, его относят к началу 1600-х годов, и считают что впервые он был издан Г.Гарритсом в 1613 году.
