Geographia Generalis is a seminal work in the field of geography authored by Bernhardus Varenius, first published in 1650.[1] This influential text laid the foundations for modern geographical science and was pivotal in the development of geography as a scientific discipline.[2][3][4] Geographer Fred Lukermann described Geographia Generalis as the division between medieval geography from modern geography.[5]
