Mallet's maps and illustrations are not only geographically informative but also a fine example of the baroque style of the period. It has been suggested that his background as a teacher led to him being concerned with entertaining his readers. This concern manifested itself in these charming illustrations which include maps cityscapes and depictions of various cultural practices and costumes. The first edition appeared in Paris in 1683 as "Description de l'univers" and soon after the hundreds of copper plates for the illustrations were transferred to Jan David Zunner in Frankfurt who published the first edition of the German translation in 1684 with German text engraved in the plates. He then published the second French edition in 1685 with the German text still in the plates. Alain Manesson Mallet 1630–1706 was a French cartographer and engineer primarily known for his significant contributions to cartography particularly through the present work. He began his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV eventually rising to the rank of Sergeant-Major in the artillery and serving as an Inspector of Fortifications. Mallet also served under the King of Portugal before returning to France where he was appointed to the court of Louis XIV. His expertise in military engineering and mathematics earned him a position teaching mathematics at the royal court.
