In 1692 Johann Ulrich Müller (1633-1715) published a small geographical work entitled ‘Geographia Totius Orbis Compendiaria’. It appears the maps were engraved by a member of the Bodenehr family. This example is from the virtually unrecorded smaller format edition without text on the page published by Gabriel Bodenehr entitled ‘Atlas Minor sive Orbis Terrae’. No date is to be found on the title but c.1703 is presumed. The map depicts the Upper Nile River, central and eastern Africa. Refer to King (2003) pp. 25 & 160B1; refer Phillips (1909-) no. 512; refer Shirley (2004) T.Mull-1a no. 102.
