A distinctive map of the region from Moscow to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea taking in the Caucasus and Armenia. From Sebastian Munster’s ‘Cosmographia Universalis’. Munster was a renowned hebraist and geographer. The ‘Cosmographia’ was first published in 1544 just four years after his first publication of Ptolemy’s ‘Geographia’. It was a large compendium of topographical information which was consistently expanded during its lifetime. Later publication of the ‘Cosmographia’ was by his step-son Heinrich Petri. Burmeister; Oehme ‘Introduction to the Facsimile of the 1550 Edition of Munster’s Cosmographia’; Karrow, R.W. (16 c.) 58/182; Shirley Atlases in the BL T.Mun 1a.
