Niche Question: How much did maps cost during the renaissance?

[u/tetheredvoid]

How much would a person pay (in period appropriate, native currency) a cartographer for a relatively detailed map for purposes similar to "trail orienteering" (wiki link)?

I feel like this a pretty niche question. I have tried searching the internet a bit, but I cannot find anything related to the retail price paid for the maps being used during that period.

I can find plenty of options to buy renaissance style maps - not what I'm looking for.

I can find information on how the maps were created and similar processes - that's a rabbit hole of pricing labor and materials where I would likely have to ask similar questions about those items.

Am I just missing an inventory or some other accounting document? For context, this is for personal writing project.
