An adaptation of Apianus's Cosmographia (Landshut, 1524), corrected and enlarged by Gemma Frisius (1508-1555), and featuring his famous cordiform world map. This edition is based on the Dutch edition of 1573, “but here enlarged with material found in intervening Latin, French & Spanish editions” (Alden).
