Philippi Cluverii introductio in universam geographiam tam veterem, quam novam
Philipp Clüver's Latin introduction to ancient and modern geography, printed in 1661 at Leiden by Johannes Bismarcus for the bookseller Conrad Bunonis, a textbook for students of geography. Its pictures are small engraved maps of regions such as Persia, Italy, the Low Countries and Libya, with dense place names, sea outlines, decorative cartouches and hand-coloured borders that suggest antique cartographic styling for historical map designs.
