[28], 607, [133] pp. Seventeenth-century edition of Philipp Cl ver s foundational geographic treatise.Complete with forty-three maps and several diagrams, documenting the global cartographic knowledge of the era.Wolfenb ttel edition of Philipp Cl ver s highly influential Introductio In Universam Geographiam, a text that fundamentally shaped geographic education in the seventeenth century. Originally published in 1624 shortly after Cl ver s death, the work systematically categorized both historical and contemporary global geography. This specific iteration, printed by Caspar Johann Bismark at the expense of Conrad Buno s widow, features the editorial enhancements of Johannes Buno and further revisions by Johann Friedrich Hekel. It stands as a comprehensive record of the world as understood by European scholars approaching the dawn of the Enlightenment.Philipp Cl ver is widely recognized as the founder of historical geography. His Introductio was designed as an accessible compendium of global geographic knowledge, synthesizing ancient sources such as Ptolemy and Strabo with the latest discoveries of the Age of Exploration. The text proved exceptionally popular, running through dozens of editions across Europe in multiple languages over the following century. The plates in this Wolfenb ttel edition were primarily engraved by Herman Mosting and Martin Hailler. The complex publication history of this edition is evidenced by the dual dating on the title pages, with the letterpress title dated 1686 and the elaborate engraved allegorical frontispiece dated 1687. The inclusion of forty-three folding and full-page maps elevates the work from a mere textual treatise to a robust portable atlas.Cartographic Breadth: California as an Island (or not)The suite of forty-three maps spans the entirety of the known globe, offering separate delineations for both ancient and modern geographic understandings. Notable among these is the twin-hemisphere world map, Typus Orbis Terrarum, which presents California as a peninsula, details the tentative coastlines of Terra Australis Incognita, and evokes interest in the Pacific. As in other editions of Cl ver, the separate map of the Americas is quite out of date and clearly depicts California as a large, detached island, marked: "Nova Albion. I. S. Franc Draco. California." This map, engraved by Herman Mosting, is described by Burden as appearing in an earlier Cl ver edition of 1661, being derived from the Nicolaas Visscher map of circa 1658.The regional maps of Europe are particularly dense, reflecting the focus of Cl ver s own specialized studies on the antiquities of Germania, Italia, and Sicilia. Further afield, in addition to the maps of the Americas, there are maps of the sprawling Empire of China, the East Indies, and Africa.Engraving and IllustrationThe cartography reflects the distinct hands of its engravers, Herman Mosting and Martin Hailler, whose signatures app. Book.

The Ancient Germanic World -- Illustrated with Maps by Nicolas Van Geelkercken.Nice example of the first edition of Philipp Cl ver s Germania Antiqua, one of the most influential works of early modern historical geography.Cl ver, often regarded as the father of historical geography, combined classical sources with his own extensive travels throughout Europe to reconstruct the ancient geography, peoples, and cultures of Germania. This work secured his appointment as Geographus Academicus and honorary professor at Leiden University, a position created especially for him.The volume provides a comprehensive survey of the Germanic world in antiquity, drawing upon Roman authors such as Tacitus, Strabo, and Ptolemy, while supplementing their accounts with Cl ver s personal observations. It examines tribal settlements, religion, customs, and military practices of the ancient Germans, presented through a rich combination of text, engraved maps, and illustrative tables.Includes an elegant allegorical title frontispiece, 11 double-page maps engraved by Nicolas Van Geelkerken (among them maps of Europe (2) Germany, Vindelicia, Noricum, the Low Countries, Switzerland, Scandinavia) and 26 full-page copper engravings depicting Germanic warriors, battle scenes, and comparative tables of peoples.The Germania Antiqua was an essential reference for early modern scholars, historians, and antiquarians, and it remained a cornerstone of the discipline well into the eighteenth century.

An Enduring Work of Historical Importance Nice example of this important historical atlas, which was first published in 1624. This edition is an early milestone in the history of Cl ver, published in Amsterdam by Janssonius (Jan Jansson) and including for the first time a number of modern maps from the Janssonius editions of the Mercator Atlas Minor. Published posthumously, Philipp Cl ver s most important work cemented his legacy as a pioneering figure in historical geography. During his time as a soldier, Cluver traveled extensively across Europe, visiting Germany, England, Scotland, Holland, and Italy. A year after his return to Leiden, he was appointed geographus academicus ("academic geographer") with an annual stipend, marking the beginning of his significant contributions to the field of geography. Cl ver's approach to geography was deeply intertwined with history and classical authors, a method popular during the Enlightenment era. Antiquarian geography sought to clarify place names known from classical literature, which had become geographically confused by the Renaissance. Cluver's extensive travels and local observations enriched his work, allowing him to supplement classical literary sources with firsthand knowledge. His concise descriptions of various countries provided a robust human and historical context, establishing Cluver as the founder of historical geography. The main text of Cl ver s work offers a comprehensive description of all the countries of the world, including a notable section on the Americas. The first edition, published in 1624, did not include maps, but later editions featured impressive, engraved maps of Italy, Africa, Russia, China, India, and America. Notably, the map of America in this edition shows California attached to the continent, in contrast to its depiction as an island in later editions. Many of these maps were etched by the renowned cartographer Petrus Bertius. The addition of a number of modern maps allows for a comparison of ancient and modern geographical knowledge which is not present in most editions of Cluver's Introductionis. Cl ver's work was highly regarded by his contemporaries, with twenty editions published in multiple languages between 1624 and 1729, including two additional editions in 1661. The Introductionis remained a standard reference through the mid-17th century, underscoring its enduring impact on the field of geography. There were two editions of the Introductionis in Universam Geographiam published in 1661. One was printed by Elsevier's press in Amsterdam and was much smaller in size (a duodecimo), with only 38 maps in a smaller format. A possible third edition issued at Leyden has been described as a likely ghost. Book.

One of the later editions of the "Introduction to Universal Geography", the first comprehensive modern geography, originally published in 1624-1629; it remained a standard work through the mid-18th century; the first of its six parts deals in general with the Earth, the remaining five contain short descriptions of countries and stress human and historical considerations. Written by Philipp Clüver (1580-1622), a Leiden-based German geographer, the founder of historical geography. This edition is supplemented with "Breviarium Totius Orbis Terrarum" and a survey of Roman emperors (short works by Petrus Bertius), followed by an index. The book features an engraved title page with putti and three figures of geographers. The copy contains a set of 4 fold-out plates (tables, diagrams) and 37 fold-out maps (copper engravings), both historical and modern, e.g. hemispheres, Europe, historical Roman provinces, Britain and Ireland, various European countries, various parts of Italy, Russia, Asia, China, India, Persia, Africa, America, various parts of the Middle East etc. Only a map of Galia is missing (torn away).

Vellum hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Second Elzevir. From Britannica Philipp Cluver, Latin Philippus Cluverius, Polish Filip Cluwer, ( 1580-1622), German geographer, a principal figure in the revival of geographic learning in Europe and the founder of historical geography. After becoming a soldier and then traveling throughout most of Europe, Cluver in 1615 settled in Leiden, where the following year he was appointed geographus academicus ("academic geographer"), with an annual stipend. He approached geography through history and classical authors. Among his works the most important is Introductio in Universam Geographiam (1624; "Introduction to Universal Geography"). The first of its six vols deals in general with the Earth, but it is the remaining five on which his reputation rests. They contain short descriptions of countries and stress human and historical considerations. The Introductio remained a standard work through the mid-18th century. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This volume is dated 1627, and is the second Elzevier edition (the first was 1624) and has "editio ultima prioribus emendatior" on the title page. However, no earlier editions can be currently located in the internet, and even Google books has this 1627 date as the earliest edition identified. Many later editions, e.g. 1629, 1640, 1660, etc., can be found, but there do not appear to be any earlier copies currently available. So even this second edition appears quite scarce. And this copy is in quite good condition for its age, in a contemporary vellum binding, with occasional spotting and browning. Contains an engraved pictorial title, two foldout plates and one foldout table, all intact as described in Goldsmid, (see photos) (Willems 1426). 24mo. 373 pp. plus 9 pages of index not described in Goldsmid, but no unnumbered pages of tables. .
