1738 Geography ATLAS 17 Maps Africa Italy Asia America California Island Buffier

Known primarily for his contributions to philosophy, Claude Buffier, a 17^th-century French Jesuit historian, published a work of universal geography. This work, which went through numerous editions and titles into the late 18^th-century, describes each of the world’s continents and major world powers on each. This atlas, along with previous editions, were published at a time before extensive knowledge of the world was common. Buffier atlases are well-known to show California as an island off of the American west coast!
