The Taisei Yochizusetsu theory

Japanese: 泰西輿地図説 - たいせいよちずせつ
The Taisei Yochizusetsu theory
A general overview of Western geography from the late Edo period. Written by Kutsuki Masatsuna, lord of the Tanba Fukuchiyama domain. Published in 1789 (Kansei 1). 17 volumes, 6 books. A labor of love over more than 20 years of research, this work is a compilation of geography of European countries, including a Dutch translation of the world geography book Zeogarahi by the German Johann Hübner. Volume 1 is a general overview of Europe, volumes 2-14 are geography books for each country, and volumes 15-17 are maps, city maps, and other charts. It has long been prized as an authoritative work on academic Western geography. A reprint is available as Dutch Studies Materials Series 7 (1981).
