Notevole fu il suo contributo per la crezione della geografia storica. Cluver fornisce inoltre un primo resoconto del pianeta terra inclusa una discussione sulle zone climatiche, la sua rotazione, la navigazione nel mare e segni del Zodiaco. Bel frontespizio figurato.

He not only relied on literary sources from antiquity, but also on the notes he made during his travels and working visits.
