Image: Europa Polyglotta

Description: Gottfried Hensel: Europa Polyglotta, Linguarum Genealogiam exhibens, una cum Literis, Scribendique modis, Omnium Gentium. "Multilingual Europe, showing the genealogy of the languages, together with the alphabets and modes of writing of all peoples."

Around the map are charts of "Scythian" (based on Hebrew), Greek, "Marcomannic", Runic, Hibernian (insular), German (blackletter), Anglo-Saxon, "Ruthenian" (Cyrillic), "Hunnic" (Szekely-Hungarian Rovas), "Sclavonic" (Cyrillic), Glagolitic and Etruscan scripts. The map shows the first (two) phrase(s) of the pater noster ("our father who art in heaven. (hallowed be thy name.)") in 33 languages. The texts are based on Oratio dominica plus centum linguis versionibus (1700, 1715).
