Major rivers, bodies of water as well as mountains, forests, and pictorial cities are shown.Sebastian Müenster (1489-1552) was a major writer, scholar, cosmographer and cartographer (Short, 108; Tooley, 454; Portinaro and Knirsch, 317). In 1505, Müenster entered a Franciscan order in Heidelberg. He later studied mathematics, geography, astronomy, cosmology and Hebrew. He produced 80 books on religion. He published several editions of Ptolemy's "Geographia" with many of his own woodcut maps including this map. Müenster was one of the first cartographers to make use of metal plates to print text on woodcut maps (Skelton, 39-40; Burden, 15-7). He also invited other mapmakers in Germany to send him maps of their local areas so that he could combine them into an accurate map of Germany. In 1544, he published his best known work "Cosmography" in Geneva. In its first edition, "Cosmography" contained 659 pages including 520 woodcut maps and drawings. In1548, this work contained 818 pages and 725 woodcuts. In 1550 the work contained 1,233 pages and 910 woodcuts. Throughout the sixteenth century this work was extremely influential and considered a major source of "geographical, historical, and scientific knowledge" (Short, 108-9). Müenster's work contains a heterogeneous set of knowledge including explanations of "the phoenix, goblins, and spirits." It also contains material discussing "the one-eyed and large-eared people who were supposed to inhabit parts of India," information about latitude and longitude, and royal genealogies. The work also contains maps of many different types including world maps, country maps, regional maps and city maps (Short, 109).
