In 1552, Venice was still a powerful and prosperous city-state in Italy, known for its maritime trade and its control of a large empire that included parts of Italy, Greece, and the eastern Mediterranean.

The city was also a major cultural center, renowned for its art, architecture, and scholarship. The surrounding islands, such as Murano, Burano, and Torcello, were also under the control of the Venetian Republic, and were known for their glass-making, lacemaking, and fishing industries. However, in the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire was rapidly expanding and posed a major threat to Venice's control of the Eastern Mediterranean. This would lead to several conflicts in the following decades.

Sebastian Münster (1488-1552) was a German cartographer, cosmographer, and a Christian Hebraist scholar. He was born in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany and studied at the University of Heidelberg. Münster is best known for his work "Cosmographia", a book containing maps and descriptions of the world.

First published in 1544, it was the most successful and popular book of its kind in the 16th century and went through 24 editions in 100 years. Münster was also a Hebrew scholar and published a Hebrew grammar in 1527 and a Hebrew Bible in 1534.
