Description
Nicely colored and fascinating 1588 map of Greece and the western part of Turkey. After many new discoveries and explorations, by 1588 a new edition of the Cosmographia had become necessary.
All the maps were redrawn to bring them up to date. Basically, the 1588-maps are the second state of the maps published in the Cosmographia. After 1588, this map was only re-published in the German editions of the Cosmographia of 1592, 1598, 1614, and 1628 and is thus comparatively rare. A fishing boat and a sea monster occupy the Mare Adriaticum. Mountains, villages, churches and woods are attractively drawn pictorially. Fine calligraphic lettering and highly detailed engraving. A block-style title cartouche decorates the map. The 1550- edition of the Cosmographia is considered to be Münster’s Magnum Opus. The 1550-edition of this map is also offered in this auction.
This is a map from Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographiae, the first detailed, scientific, and popular description of the world. Münster originally intended to describe only Germany, but gradually he widened his scope to encompass all of Europe, and even the world. The scientifically most valuable sections are those which deal with Germany and Central Europe. Münster received the assistance of more than one hundred and twenty collaborators, who provided him with the most up-to-date information relating to the towns and places described.
