Confusion

[edit]

The category and its description appear to confuse Sebastian Münster's 1540 Basel edition of Ptolemy's Geographia Universalis (aka Cosmographia), reprinted many times but not in the year 1544, with his own Cosmographia Universalis, an entirely different book first published in 1544. For full details, see Matthew McLean (2013) The Cosmographia of Sebastian Münster: Describing the World in the Reformation, Ashgate. ISBN: 978-1-4094-7981-9.  --Lambiam 06:18, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
