Charming small map of ancient Greece based on the map by Nikolaus Sophianos. It extends to include a good portion of modern Turkey. Colorful political divisions and two strapwork cartouches enhance the composition. Engraved by Petrus Kaerius.

Cluver's Introductio in Universam Geographicam was a popular atlas, appearing in over 45 editions during a 100-year period. The first edition was published without maps in the 1620s, and the first edition to include maps was published circa 1641. The various editions were published in different cities throughout Europe, including Amsterdam, Nuremberg, and London, often with new sets of maps engraved. This map is from an Amsterdam edition published by Jansson's heirs, which included some maps from the Jansson and Cloppenburgh editions of Atlas Minor.
