In 1692 Johann Ulrich Müller (1633-1715) published a small geographical work entitled 'Geographia Totius Orbis Compendiaria'. It appears the maps were engraved by a member of the Bodenehr family.

No date is to be found on the title but c.1703 is presumed. The map depicts the Upper Nile River, central and eastern Africa. Refer to King (2003) pp. 25 & 160B1; refer Phillips (1909-) no. 512; refer Shirley (2004) T.Mull-1a no. 102.
