Sebastian Münster Basel: S Münster, (1540) 1552Woodblock engraving, centerfold, outline and decorative colour, tanning in margins, foxing; verso: Latin title on right hand sheet, tanning, foxing, paint show through, pencil notesfrom Cosmographia25,5 by 34,5cmMünster was the first map maker to publish separate maps of the continents in his encyclopedia Cosmographia. For his map of Africa he used ancient sources, but also the discoveries of Portuguese explorers. This increased the accuracy of the coast line, but for the interior Münster relied on Roman sources, which explains the inclusion of the one eyed man or Monoculi.As Jonathan Swift satirized in 1733: So geographers, in Afric maps With savage pictures fill their gaps And o'er uninhabitable downs Place elephants for want of townsThis is a rare unusual variant of Münster's Monoculi map. During printing the loose metal type set was inserted upside down. On the map there are three instances: QVIOLA, Regnü and part of Garamantes. Not only does this help in dating the map, but it also gives insight into the woodblock printing process used in the mid16th century.LITERATUREBetz #3 (Variant 8)Norwich #3Sebastian Münster, Accessed 26 January 2021,
