This antique map, ‘Episcopatvs Gandavensis’ created in 1665, depicts an area in modern-day Belgium, specifically the region surrounding Gent, Eeklo, and Wetteren. The title translates to ‘Bishopric of Ghent’, indicating the religious and political influence of the Catholic Church in the area during the 17th Century. Belgium at this time was part of the Spanish Netherlands, a territory controlled by the Habsburg monarchy. It was a time of religious and political conflict, as the Protestant Reformation had taken hold in neighbouring countries such as the Netherlands and France. The map also borders these two countries, indicating the strategic importance of the region. Overall, ‘Episcopatvs Gandavensis’ provides a glimpse into the political and religious landscape of early 17th Century Belgium.
