Description

Explore the profound impact of one of the most important books of the Reformation period. This scholarly work from the St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series examines Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia, a massive undertaking that sought to describe the entire world through geography, history, ethnography, zoology, and botany. First published in 1544, the Cosmographia was a global phenomenon, going through thirty-five editions and appearing in five different languages. This volume provides a deep look into Munster's life and the scholarly range of his work. It moves from a biographical study of the author into a detailed analysis of the cosmography genre itself. Readers will gain a better understanding of how this text shaped the perception of the world during a period of massive change. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the Reformation, early modern geography, and the evolution of scientific and historical writing.
