本文的主题是米泰奥拉的第一个现存的地形雕刻，这是希腊第二大修道院建筑群，也是世界上最壮观的景观之一。这幅18世纪晚期的版画结合了拜占庭绘画中传统使用的制图原理和技术，将其置于更广泛的希腊本土制图传统之中。它也可以被认为是18世纪僧侣所设想的该地区的心理地图，以及在政治和财政困难时期为该地区及其修道院做广告的工具。与任何地图一样，雕刻同时隐藏和显示，掩盖了困难的地面条件，同时显示了通往天堂的道路。
The subject of this article is the first extant topographical engraving of Meteora, the second largest monastic complex in Greece and one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. This late eighteenth-century print combined cartographic principles with techniques traditionally used in Byzantine painting, which situates it within a broader vernacular Greek cartographic tradition. It can also be considered a mental map of the region as envisaged by eighteenth century monks, as well as a tool for advertising the region and its monasteries at a time of political and financial distress. As with any map, the engraving simultaneously concealed and revealed, masking difficult terrestrial conditions while showing pathways to heaven.
