Publication: Civitates Orbis Terrarum 1598

Odense (from Odins Vi, i.e. Odin's Sanctuary), is one of the oldest cities of Denmark and celebrated its 1000th anniversary in 1988. Odense is now the third largest city in Denmark and is the provincial capital of Funen.
"...Georg Braun & Franz Hogenberg’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum, stands as one of the greatest monuments of late 16th and early 17th Century European cartography. Published in Cologne, Germany in a series of six volumes between 1572 and 1617/8, and, when finally completed, comprising nearly 550 City views and plans, the Civitates is also one of the most valuable sources for the study of Renaissance urban cartography.
