abstract = {Engravings Depicting the Polotsk Campaign in 1579 as a Homogeneous Cartographic Composition

	The paper presents seven plans of fortresses (Polotsk, Sokil, Kazyany, Krasne, Turovla, Susza and Sitno) and a map of the principality of Polotsk by Stanisław Pachołowiecki. The analysis indicates that plans of fortifi cations and hydrogeologic conditions were integrated into a previously existing operational map of the principality of Polotsk. Therefore, eight printed maps and plans constitute a joint work that was uniformly finished by one author (Stanisław Pachołowiecki or Giovanni Battista Cavalieri). The map of the principality of Polotsk features Russian fortifications in the form of two-dimensional projections. The strongholds were depicted in a reliable manner, both in terms of shape and the number of towers. Such a representation of settlement symbols was an innovative solution in Renaissance cartography. Not until the 17th century were such means known and they did not appear on a broader scale until the 1730s.},
