<p class="al-j">Analysis of representations of Croatian cities bound into five manuscript atlases: two atlases (signature Cod. 8607 and Cod. 8609) from the Collection of <span id="adtext_3" class="adtext">Manuscripts</span>, Documents and Heritage of the Austrian<span id="adtext_2" class="adtext">National Library</span> (Handschriften-, Autographen- und Nachlass-Sammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek) in Vienna, two (signature Schr. XXVI, F. 96, Nr. 6 and Schr. XXVI, F. 96, Nr. 11) from the Saxon Central State Archive (Sächsisches Hauptstaatsarchiv) in Dresden and one (signature Hfk. Bd. XV) from the Main Land Archive (Generallandesarchiv) in Karlsruhe. Some of the problems encountered during the research are described and explained in the paper. They are: determination of more <span id="adtext_1" class="adtext">accurate data</span> about the first discoveries about the existence of representations of Croatian cities, the titles of the atlases and the time of their production. Incorrect signature citation is stressed, as well as the problem of incomplete data.</p><p><br /><br /></p><div> </div>
