1629 Foldo1629 Elzevir Edition
INTRODUCTIONIS IN UNIVERSAM GEOGRAPHIAM
Philippi Cluverii Introductionis in universam geographiam tam veterem quam novam libri VI
By Philipp Cluverii, Bound with Sleidan (1631)
Author Bio: 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.
Johannes Sleidanus or Sleidan (1506 – 31 October 1556) was a Luxembourgish historian and annalist of the Reformation.
Synopsis: A 1629 Leiden Elzevir pocket edition of Philipp Clüver’s influential geographical handbook, one of the standard early modern surveys of the known world and a key text in the development of historical geography. First published in 1624, the work became widely used for its concise treatment of geographical principles and its description of the regions and peoples of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Clüver, geographer to Leiden University, is widely regarded as one of the founders of historical geography.

Batavorum, ex officina Elzeviriana, 1621. A desirable small-format scholarly Elzevir, attractive both as a working seventeenth-century geography and as a characteristic Dutch pocket imprint of the period.
I. Sleidani, De Quatuor Summis Imperiis Libri Tres, a concise historical-political survey of the four great empires, printed at Leiden by the Elzevir press in 1621, and present here with its own engraved title.
