¤ In 1660 representatives of Charles Emanuel II, Duke of Savoy, commissioned Joan Blaeu to begin a town-book of the duchy of Savoy. By the year 1672 the work was nearing completion, when a fire largely destroyed the main Blaeu workshop, and much of the prepared material.

The map shows the territory of Savoy, surrounded by coats-of-arms of counties and baronies that were part of the duchy.
Prepared by Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio (1620-1683) in 1670. Engraved by Joannes de Broen. The town-book was a great success and reissued several times by different publishers in Amsterdam, as late as 1726.
