Bird's-eye view of Paris.
From a German text edition of S. Münster's Cosmographia, which is a short and complete summary of Renaissance knowledge. Text in German. Under the legendary plan in German A to G. It is framed by a border composed of foliage and grimacing figures. Adorned with the Arms of France and Paris. It replaces the plan of Hans Rudolf Deutsch.

Structures like the Palais de la Cité, Bastille, Les Halles marketplace, and the bustling Pont Notre-Dame are also prominently depicted, emphasizing Paris as a thriving urban and economic center. The Sorbonne, a leading intellectual institution, and the majestic Sainte-Chapelle highlight the city’s rich educational and religious heritage. The River Seine (Saquana) flows gracefully through the heart of the city, dividing its historical districts.
