Guido of Pisa
Guido of Pisa (died 9 July 1169) was an Italian
Geography, and the Antonine Itinerary. Guido's book included text, as well as maps of Italy and the world as it was known to the Romans.[1] It also included the only known text of the Carmen in victoriam Pisanorum. His map of the Western Roman Empire contains the inscription Carantano, which is probably the first cartographical mention of the Slovene territory.[2]
