In 'Networked Nation: Mapping German Cities in Sebastian Mun̈ster's 'Cosmographia',
Jasper van Putten examines the groundbreaking woodcut city views in the German humanist
Sebastian Mun̈ster's 'Cosmographia'. This description of the world, published in Basel
from 1544 to 1628, glorified the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and engendered
the city book genre. Van Putten argues that Mun̈ster's network of city view makers
and contributors - from German princes and artists to Swiss woodcutters, draftsmen,
and printers - expressed their local and national cultural identities in the views.
The 'Cosmographia', and the city books it inspired, offer insights into the development
of German and Swiss identity from 1550 to Switzerland?s independence from the empire
in 1648
