The first map of Hungary with only one existing copy known was published in mid-May of 1528 in Ingolstadt, by the printing press of Petrus Apianus. The work of Lázár, a 16th century Hungarian scholar of mysterious fate, was taken to Vienna by Johannes Cuspinianus, rector of the Vienna University and diplomat, who had it printed in a version re-edited by the professor of the Vienna University, Georg Tannstetter. The map reappeared in 1880 after a long time of unknown whereabouts. It was purchased by Count Sándor Aponyi who donated it to National Széchényi Library in 1925.

The Tabula Hungariae was included in the Memory of the World Register of the UNESCO on the 19th of June 2007, together with 38 other artworks.
