Munster
Summary
Sebastian Munster: Sclavonia oder Windisch Marck (Bossen) Crabaten.
The map was published in one of the editions of his "Cosmographie" published in Basel around 1580.
Münster Sebastian, German Hebraist, cosmographer and cartographer (Ingelheim on the Rhine, January 20, 1488 – Basel, May 26, 1552). Professor of Hebraistics at the University of Heidelberg (1524–27) and Basel (1529), where he was rector in 1547–48. Edited and published a two-volume Bible (Biblia Hebraica, 1536) in Hebrew and Latin. He collected the geographical and cartographic knowledge of his time in the capital work Cosmographia, published in 1544 (471 woodcuts and 26 maps). In the editions up to 1550, the work was significantly enriched with woodcuts (900) and maps (40). Croatia is shown on the map of Illyria (Descriptio Totius Illyridis) and on the woodcut map of Hungary (Landtafel des Ungerlandes, Polande, Russen...), which is not known whether it originates from Cosmography or from the Münster edition of Ptolemy's Geography from 1540
