Триста лет первой публикации в России книги “Всеобщая география” Бернхарда Варениуса

“Universal Geography” of Bernhardus Varenius (1622–1650) is a classic work on geography. Isaac Newton taught a course in geography at Cambridge University on the book of Varenius and twice in his redaction and with additions published it in England. The wide scientific resonance and special popularity of “Universal Geography” in England defined Peter The Great’s decision according to the authoritative recommendation of J.V. Bruce to choice this composition as a textbook. The publication in 1718 of “Universal geography” of B. Varenius had played an important role in the development of geographical knowledge and teaching geography in Russia.
