Note: from " Introductio in universam geographiam tam veterem..."
Philipp Clüver (latinized as Philippus Cluverius) was an antiquary, who was given a special appointment at Leiden as geographer and put in charge of the university's library, but his life's project, it developed, was a general study of the geography of Antiquity, based not only on classical literary sources, but – and this was his contribution – supplemented by wide travels and local inspections. He became virtually the founder of historical geography.
