Bernard Wapowski

Bernard Wapowski

Bernard Wapowski (1450 – 1535) was a historian and the leading Polish cartographer of the 16th century, known as "the father of Polish cartography." He was born near Przemyśl at the family's village of Wapowce (hence his surname, the adjective formed from the village's name).

In 1526 Wapowski was serving as secretary to the King of Poland when Nicolaus Copernicus assisted him in mapping the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
