Graeciae Universae (Greek Empire). Greece, which at one time was as it were the mother and nurse of all good learning and disciplines, a rich and wealthy country and one which by its valour and magnanimity was Empress and Prince of the better half of the world, has at this day fallen to a state (such is the fickleness and inconstancy of fortune, which turns all things upside down) that there is no part of it or it is either subject to the Turks and enthralled to slavish servitude, or else it is under the command of the Venetians, or tributary to them.” from text on back of map translated by Marcel van den Broecke”
