Source Wikipedia The first encyclopedia in history, the Cosmographia Universalis, is one of the first descriptions of the world, originally in the German language. Several editions were printed, including versions in Latin, in French (in 1552 – Basel edition, 1 vol. 3 – and in 1575 – Paris edition, 2 volumes 4), in Italian, English and even Czech. The last publication in German dates from 1628, more than 70 years after his death. The Münster Cosmographia Universalis was one of the most widely read works of the 16th century and can probably be attributed second place in popularity after the Bible. This success was partly due to the excellent woodcuts, including some by Hans Holbein the Younger, Urs Graf, Hans Rudolph Manuel Deutsch and David Kandel. In total, more than 120 collaborators participated in this work. The work was at the time a reference in geography and history. It contains numerous illustrations of the lifestyles of the time, as well as double-page views of cities and numerous maps. These maps covered "new islands behind Spain as far as the East towards the land of the Indies" (America and the Asian continent).The first encyclopedia in history, the Cosmographia Universalis, is one of the first descriptions of the world, originally in the German language.
