Map Maker: Sebastian Munster

Description:

Second state of Munster's map of Scandinavia, first issued in 1545 to replace the very rare first edition of the map, which appeared in only the first three editions of Munster's Geographia.

Munster's first map relied upon the cartography of Jacob Ziegler's 1532 map.  The present map is based upon the Olaus Magnus map of 1539.  The 1552 edition is the only edition to have the bars for Longitude and Latitude. Extends to Iceland, Scotland and the Islands of Tyle, Fare (Faroes), Hetlad.
