The book itself was originally written as a teaching aid for students by Johann Hubner, a German scholar.

Cowley translated the book into English from high Dutch and added a set of interesting maps to illustrate the work.

Some of the maps bear the signature of Emanuel Bowen and he may well have engraved all of them as they follow a common format, albeit varying in size.
