Magni Ducatus Lithuaniae,[lower-alpha 1] or simply the Radziwiłł map, is a Latin map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania created under the tutelage of Mikołaj Krzysztof "the Orphan" Radziwiłł. The map was likely first published in 1603 but no surviving copy is known. It was published in the Amsterdam printing house of Willem Blaeu as a wall map from 1613 to 1650s. It was also included in atlases published by Blaeu as a foldable insert in 1631–1649. In 1649, the map was redrawn to shrink it so it could fit on an atlas page. Valued for its accuracy and intricate detail, the map was modified and republished many times by various cartographers until the First partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1772.
