The map is directly based on Hutter's publication of de la Rosière's map of Paderborn Bishopric at RCINs 732088-9. The extensive text, bottom left, giving the geographical descriptions of certain towns has been moved from the body of the map, where it appeared in Hutter's map, in order to give a less cluttered and, therefore, easier to read map of the Bishopric.
