The first publisher of Sebastian Münster's "Cosmographia" was Heinrich Petri. The initial edition of the work, which consisted of six books, was published by Heinrich Petri in Basel, Switzerland, in 1544.

The "Cosmographia" covers a wide range of subjects, including geography, astronomy, history, ethnography, and natural history.
