The OCLC entry for the 1701 edition lists it as having 41 folding plates; the missing plate is the world map titled Globi Mundi Terrarum which should face page 5.

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).

12mo. 352 (including the engraved title-page), 70, (10) pp. With 3 folding engraved plates and 1 folding letterpress table. Contemporary blindstamped vellum over thin wooden boards with handwritten spine title and green ribbons. First edition thus as published by the Elzeviers of Amsterdam: a compact copy of this prominent work by the founder of historical geography, the German historian and cartographer Clüver (1580-1622) which first appeared in 1624. It is divided into 6 books, with the first book giving an account of the planet Earth, including a discussion of its climate zones, its rotation, remarks about navigation at sea and signs of the zodiac, while the following books describe various countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The plates show circles of longitude and latitude, the winds of the Mediterranean, cardinal directions and measures of distance. Also, the present edition includes the "Breviarium totius orbis terrarum" by the Flemish geographer Peter Bertius (1565-1629), further describing various countries and providing a list of Roman and Holy Roman Emperors. The small 12mo format is a characteristic of the books issued by the famous Elzevir printing and publishing house and soon became very desirable among bibliophiles. - With shelfmarks to the pastedown and the lower flyleaf.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Amsterdam, Hondium, 16mo. (12 by 6 cm), pictorial engraved title page, 352, 70, [9] p., plus 3 folding plates and table. ***CONTENT: Clüver (1580-1622) was a German antiquary, historian, and geographer, and arguably the founder of historical geography. Via his extensive travels and study of classical literature, he became well versed in both the geography of antiquity and of his day. This treatise, published posthumously, was the first "modern geography", and became a standard geographical textbook. Chapters summarize global geographical concepts (oceans, equator, climates, etc.) and provide details of the geography of the countries and peoples of Europe, Asia, Africa, and parts of the Americas (noting Florida, California, Mexico, Peru, etc.). The 70 p. appendix by Petr. Bertio is titled "Breviarium totius orbis terrarum" -- it provides historical and cultural details, and includes a list of Roman emperors. ***CONDITION: This is a near VG copy bound in contemporary full vellum. Save for soiling, the covers are complete and well preserved. No marking or lettering on the backstrip. The text pages are typically fresh, clean and bright, though the pages at front are closely trimmed; title page with chipping to the free edge. Joints and hinges strong; binding very firm. No prior ownership evidence. This is a useful copy of a scarce publication. Not in BMNH. International shipping will be extra for this volume, but only at my cost.
