PEUTINGER KONRAD (1465—1547)  ,

German humanist and antiquarian, was born at Augsburg . In 1497 he was town clerk of his native place, and was on intimate terms with the emperor Maximilian . He was one of the first to publish Roman inscriptions, and his name remains associated with the famous Tabula peutingeriana (see MAP), a map of the military roads of the western Roman Empire, which was discovered by Konrad Celtes, who handed it over to Peutinger for publication . Peutinger also edited the Historia Gothorum of Jordanes, and the Historic geniis Langobardorum of Paulus Diaconus . The Tabula peutingeriana was first published as a whole by F. de Scheyb (1953); later editions by E . Desjardins (1869–1874) and C . Miller (1888); see also E . Paulus, Erklarung der Peutinger Tafel (1867); and Teuffel-Schwabe, His'. of Roman Literature (Eng. trans., 1900) .
