A Venetian edition by Paolo Santini of the Map of the Kingdom of Georgia by French royal cartographer Joseph Nicolas Delisle.

The map is based on the original Map of the Kingdom of Georgia created by the Georgian geographer, historian, and cartographer Prince Vakhushti Bagrationi. It represents a kind of translation being published in Paris (1766) and later in Venice (1775) in accordance with the highest standards of European cartography.

With the Parisian and Venetian editions of Vakhushti’s map, Georgian toponymic was introduced into European cartography.
For example, this map shows the place names such as Abkhazia (APKHAZETI), Upper Kartli (ZEMOKARTLI), and place of Trapizon (TRAPIZONIS ALAGI), among others.

Approximately after the next fifty years following the map’s publication, both French and British royal cartographers actively used Vakhushti’s original Georgian-language place names in maps related to Georgia.
