==History==
The map was discovered in a library in the city of [[Worms, Germany|Worms]] by German scholar [[Conrad Celtes]] in 1494, who was unable to publish his find before his death and bequeathed the map in 1508 to [[Konrad Peutinger]], a German [[Humanism|humanist]] and antiquarian in [[Augsburg]], after whom the map is named.<ref name=euratlas/> The Peutinger family kept possession of the map for more than two hundred years until it was sold in 1714. It then was passed repeatedly between several royal and elite families until it was purchased by [[Prince Eugene of Savoy]] for 100 [[ducats]]; upon his death in 1737, it was purchased for the [[Habsburg]] Imperial Court Library in Vienna (''{{lang|de|Hofbibliothek}}''). It is today conserved at the [[Austrian National Library]] at the [[Hofburg]] palace in Vienna,<ref>Accession number: Codex 324.</ref> and due to its fragility is housed away from any public display.<ref name=":0" />

The map is considered by several scholars to have come into Celtes's possession by means of theft. Celtes, Peutinger and their emperor tended to target artifacts that connected their empire (the [[Holy Roman Empire]]) to the ancient Roman Empire. Celtes and Peutinger took pains to eliminate clues related to the map's original whereabouts and thus knowledge about its first three hundred years are likely lost. {{sfn|Emily|2014|pp=13,14}}<ref>{{cite book |last1=Foster |first1=Russell |title=Mapping European Empire: Tabulae imperii Europaei |date=26 June 2015 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-317-59306-5 |page=116 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6cgBCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT116 |access-date=23 February 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

Unger opines that continuing to call this map "Peutinger" means honouring the pilfering.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Unger |first1=Richard |title=Cartography in Antiquity and the Middle Ages: Fresh Perspectives, New Methods |date=31 August 2008 |publisher=BRILL |isbn=978-90-474-4319-3 |page=119 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TO95DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA119 |access-date=23 February 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

An early scholar who accused Celtes of the theft was the theologian [[Johann Eck]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wood |first1=Christopher S. |last2=Wood |first2=Professor Christopher S. |title=Forgery, Replica, Fiction: Temporalities of German Renaissance Art |date=15 August 2008 |publisher=University of Chicago Press |isbn=978-0-226-90597-6 |page=8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gj4zOnmkbuEC&pg=PA8 |access-date=23 February 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

When Celtes gave the map to Peutinger, he left instructions that later would influence its subsequent history and finally lead to the publication in 1598: "I bequeath to Mr Dr Conrad Peutinger the ''Itinerarium Antonii Pii'' . . . ; I wish, however, and request that after his death it should be turned over to public use, such as some library." However, when the map was in the possession of Peutinger and his sons others could only gain access to it directly in rare occasions. The map then became lost and only rediscovered in 1597 by Marcus Welser (a member of the [[Welser family]] and relative of Peutinger). According to Welser who wrote a commentary on the map (the ''Praefatio''), it was the description of the humanist Beatus Rhenanus that "aroused an intense desire in many people to inspect it." During the time it was lost, Peutinger and Welser attempted to create a facsimile edition of the map from the sketches they kept. These sketches were published in 1591 and the above mentioned ''Praefatio'' was the work's introduction.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Vanhaelen |first1=Angela |last2=Ward |first2=Joseph P. |title=Making Space Public in Early Modern Europe: Performance, Geography, Privacy |date=26 April 2013 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-135-10467-2 |pages=132–134 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Rr5_tRVo1uUC&pg=PA132 |access-date=23 February 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

In 2007, the map was placed on the UNESCO's [[Memory of the World Programme|Memory of the World Register]], and in recognition of this, it was displayed to the public for a single day on 26 November 2007. Because of its fragile condition, it is not usually on public display.{{sfn|Bell|2007}}
