By Philippi Cluverii - Philipp Clüver (also Klüwer, Cluwer, or Cluvier, Latinized as Philippus Cluverius and Philippi Cluverii) (1580 – 31 December 1622) was an Early Modern German geographer and historian. Clüver was an antiquary, who was given a special appointment at Leiden as geographer and put in charge of the university's library, but his life's project, it developed, was a general study of the geography of Antiquity, based not only on classical literary sources, but – and this was his contribution – supplemented by wide travels and local inspections. He became virtually the founder of historical geography.
Chapters summarize global geographical concepts (oceans, equator, climates, etc.) and provide details of the geography of the countries and peoples of Europe, Asia, Africa, and parts of the Americas (noting Florida, California, Mexico, Peru, etc.). The 70 p. appendix by Petr. Bertio is titled "Breviarium totius orbis terrarum" -- it provides historical and cultural details, and includes a list of Roman emperors.
