Peutingher, CONRAD

Peutingher, CONRAD (1465-1547), a scholarly citizen of Augsburg, and keeper of the archives. He published a series of Roman inscriptions; and at his death the so-called Tabula Peutingcriana was in his possession, in course of being prepared for publication. This remarkable Itinerary (q.v.) is really a Roman map of the military roads of the 3d century A.D., though his copy was probably a 13th-century one. The document was sold by his family, bought by Prince Eugene in 1714, and is now in the Imperial Library at Vienna. It was edited and published by Scheyb (1753), Mannert (1824), and Desjardins (1869).
