Paul Dax Die verschollenen Karte über die Bergwerke bei Kitzbühl

Anmerkung 1:
Ich schrieb damals:
The government of Tyrol wrote on the 25th of May 1541 to the judge of the
mines (Berg Richter) in Kitzbühel, telling that Paul Dax, citizen of
Innsbruck should, in the name of the government, draw a map of the
new mines at Kitzbühel, specially the ones of « Holztratten, Vorpühl,
Witta, Reinaken ›› and their surroundings. And on the 28th of april
1543 the government of Tyrol wrote once more to the judge at
Kitzbühel, that Paul Dax should make a duplicate of his map of the
environment of Kitzbühel (la).
When I worked in the archives of Innsbruck several years ago, I
looked for this map too, though I knew that other historians had not
found it. In the end, I found a map of the surroundings of Kitzbühel
without a signature, a date or anything else. At ñrst sight, this map did
not looked of very high technical level, like the maps for salt mining,
which were perhaps the eldest. A detailed study of the contents of this
map showed that the choice of colours and the kind of handwriting was
very similar to those on the existing maps of Paul Dax. Even more
remarkable, all the places listed in the writings quoted above were
placed on that map and a special Vignette could be found, on which was
written new mining (« neuen Schacht ››) at the place Holztratten (« In
den Holztratten ››), the place were the new mines were found ('9). It is
therefore possible that this map was drawn from Paul Dax in 1541 ;
