Description

Associated with	Munster

Note	Interesting map showing the Roman port of Ostia, including the rivers which link the port to Rome. Munster is generally regarded as one of the important map makers of the 16th Century.. Sebastien Munster was a linguist and mathematician, who initially taught Hebrew in Heidelberg. He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529, after which he issued a call geographical information about Germany to scholars throughout the country. The response was better than hoped for, and included substantial foreign material, which supplied him with up to date, if not necessarily accurate maps for the issuance of his Geographia in 1540.
Note	Map shows Italy.
