Hi, I don't think one should translate universalis with cosmographiae - what does it mean? - but one should take it as a synonym of general, adj. with descriptio (Cfr. Cornelis De Jode's Totius Orbis Cogniti Universalis Descriptio). Descriptio does not necessarily mean description; its first meanings are reproduction, copy or picture.
