A fine map of Africa.

This map is from Philipp Cluver’s famous Introductionis in Universam Geographicam, published in Wolfenbüttel, Germany in 1661 by Conrad Buno.  The two men principally involved in the German editions were Conrad Buno (c.1613-1671), and his brother, Johann Buno (1617-1697).  Conrad was an engraver and publisher at the court of Wolfenbüttel. Johann was a theologian and pedagogue in Lüneburg, and was responsible for editing the text of this edition of Cluver's book.  The engraver for this map is not identified though it could have been Conrad Buno, who engraved the 1641 Cluver maps. 

Besides the 1661 edition, this map appeared in later editions of 1667, 1672, and 1678.  There is no text on the verso.
