Great Britain & Ireland. 1598 Sebastian Muster in "Cosmographia"
This map was published in the Petri re-release of Cosomgraphia in 1598. A new additional woodcut of the British Isles was introduced in the 1578 edition of the Cosmographia.. The lower part of the map is a reduced version of Munsters 1540 map with fewer English place names but with more shown of the continent. North is now at the top and an unusual feature is the eastwards slant given to the mainland of Scotland above Edinburgh; an odd reversion to the Ptolemaic tradition in a supposedly modern map. This map appeared in at least two states in all the subsequent editions of the Cosmographia in 1588, 1592, 1598, 1614 and 1628.
