The only surviving copy of the map in the Greek area is kept in the National Historical Museum of Greece. This map together with the Map of Greece (1797), the Pamphlet of Alexander the Great (1797) and the New Map of Wallachia (1797) are the cartographic work of Rigas Velestinlis, showing his national liberation and state vision.
