It was published in 1647 under the name of _Selenographia_.

He represented the circular mountains by open spots somewhat round in shape, and by shaded figures he indicated the vast plains, or, as he called them, the _seas_, that occupied so much of her surface.

These he designated by names taken from our Earth.

His map shows you a _Mount Sinai_ the midst of an _Arabia_, an _AEtna_ in the centre of a _Sicily_, _Alps_, _Apennines_, _Carpathians_, a _Mediterranean_, a _Palus Maeolis_, a _Pontus Euxinus_, and a _Caspian Sea_.

But these names seem to have been given capriciously and at random, for they never recall any resemblance existing between themselves and their namesakes on our globe.
