Sebastian Münster was a German cartographer, cosmographer, and scholar who lived from 1488 to 1552. He is known for his significant contributions to the field of geography and mapmaking during the Renaissance period. One of his notable works is the "Cosmographia," a widely read and influential book that provided detailed descriptions of the world's regions and included maps of various countries and continents.

The map "India Extrema XIX Nova Tabula," is a part of Münster's "Cosmographia." It's an early map of Asia and was first published in the 1542 edition of his work. This map, like many early maps of its time, reflects the limited knowledge and understanding of geography during that era. The map likely contains inaccuracies and misconceptions based on the information available at the time.

Münster was born in Ingelheim, Germany, and he studied at the University of Heidelberg and later at the University of Tübingen. He had a diverse range of interests, including theology, mathematics, and geography. He became a professor of Hebrew at the University of Basel and later focused on geography and cartography.

Münster's maps were known for their decorative elements, and he often included artistic embellishments and illustrations alongside geographical information. His maps were not always highly accurate due to the limitations of knowledge and technology during that era, but they played a crucial role in disseminating geographical information to a wider audience.

Sebastian Münster's contributions to cartography and geography laid the foundation for later mapmaking and geographical studies. His works were instrumental in shaping the European understanding of the world during the Renaissance and beyond.
