1834: JF Bensenberg: Die Sternschnuppen ... Stein und die Mondvulkanen

 

   

A book on Meteors, Stars and Lunar Volcanism offered on eBay in 2004 included this map, which is a close copy of Tobias Mayer's chart that was finally published in 1775. The spelling of the author's name is my best guess! From this work I learned the delightful German word for meteors: sternschnuppen!
