"Earliest Representation of the Northwest Coast of America on a Printed Map" - BurdenThis 1543 Basel edition of Caius Julius Solinus's Polyhistory contains an important woodcut map of Asia attributed to Sebastian M nster. Folio. Later full vellum, leather spine label (chipped). Title page a bit dust so…iled. [20],230 pages. 2 folding woodcut maps. 18 woodcuts in the text. Very good. "Earliest Representation of the Northwest Coast of America on a Printed Map" - BurdenThis 1543 Basel edition of Caius Julius Solinus's Polyhistory contains an important woodcut map of Asia attributed to Sebastian M nster which is often described as the first printed cartographical depiction of the Northwest Coast of America. The map illustrates a vast and highly conjectural swath of the Asian continent alongside a tantalizing glimpse of a separate landmass across a narrow strait to the east. It stands as a vital cartographic artifact from an era when the geographic relationship between Asia and the Americas was a subject of intense speculation.The map first appeared in the 1538 Basel edition of Solinus s Polyhistor, a classical geographical text edited and heavily updated by M nster. The Polyhistor had long served as a vehicle for momentous cartographic publication; Johann Camers's 1520 Vienna edition, for example, featured Peter Apian s landmark cordiform world map, which drew heavily on Martin Waldseem ller's 1507 wall map. To reflect contemporary knowledge, M nster added his own commentary and a suite of maps, with the present delineation of Asia functioning as the most significant addition. As noted by Burden, the woodblock itself remained unchanged between the two printings except for the presence or absence of the signature mark in the lower right. The present 1543 edition was printed by Michael Isengrin and Heinrich Petri. Here, the map is presented alongside page 144, the conclusion of the Solinus text, which explicitly directs the reader to this "picture of greater Asia" and alludes to modern explorations that informed its boundaries. The text continues: on the present map we have added the farthest eastern coast of Asia, as it has been explored by our own men. Though the specific voyage M nster referenced remains unknown his meaning is clear, implying recent European explorers in a Renaissance context. As for the map itself, Wagner writes that it was "no doubt drawn by M nster."The most celebrated feature of the Asia map appears in the extreme upper right corner, where a northwest-oriented coastline is labeled Terra incognita. Ornamented with a scattering of hills, trees, and a small bay, this landmass is separated from Asia by a narrow sea, presaging the discovery of the Bering Strait by nearly two centuries. While its inclusion has sparked debate (Henry R. Wagner suggested it might represent a misplaced Japan), the scholarly consensus recognizes this as the earliest printed representation of the American Pacific Northwest.A Blend of Ptolemaic and Modern GeographyBeyond its American content, the image offers a fascinating synthesis of classical Ptolemaic geography and contemporary early sixteenth-century discoveries. The Indian subcontinent is dramatically foreshortened in the Ptolemaic tradition, while a massive peninsula to the east represents a nascent understanding of Southeast Asia. Taprobana que Sumatra (Sri Lanka) and Madagascar are prominently featured, and the ocean is enlivened by two large, intricately carved European sailing vessels traversing the southern waters.The depiction of a clear strait between Asia and the Americas highlights a crucial period of geographical debate. While many sixteenth-century mapmakers, including Giacomo Gastaldi and the later generation of Ortelius and Mercator, would grapple with whether the two continents were joined, M nster definitively se.

Folio. Old mottled calf, rebacked with old backstrip laid down, later leather spi…ne label. Binding edges rubbed. [20],230,[2] pages. With 18 small woodcut maps in the text and 1 folding world map on laid paper with the watermark of a "chapeau" or hat (see Briquet 3401, as described in McGuirk), 2 two-page woodcut maps, one of Asia which shows a portion of North-west America described as "Terra Incognita" and the other Greece and Asia Minor, 2 single-page maps (Africa on l1r, Europe on t4v). Woodcut printer's device (palm tree with motto "Palma ising") on title page and on final leaf. Errors in paging: Pages 175 and 215 numbered 157 and 189 respectively. Historiated initials. Collation: (alpha)6, (beta)4, a-2f4 (and 3 folded maps). Some expert paper restoration to margins of world map, including neat facsimile work to right-hand printed border.

Occasional Latin marginalia in an early hand. The Earliest Obtainable Map to Name America: The 1520 Apianus World Map"The Earliest Representation of the North-West Coast of America on a Printed Map" - Burden.Plus M nster's Map of Asia and the Northwest Coast of AmericaThe 1543 Basel edition of Solinus's Polyhistor C. (here issued integrally with Pomponius Mela, De situ orbis libri III) is one of the most cartographically engaging Renaissance presentations of classical geography. Sebastian M nster edited the book, and effectively re-geographizes the ancient texts: Solinus, the 3rd-century compiler who reshaped Pliny s Natural History into a marvel-rich survey of places, is paired with Mela, the earliest surviving Roman geographer (writing ca. AD 43), and the combined work is amplified by important woodcuts maps. This example of the 1543 issue includes Peter Apian's celebrated world map of 1520, one of the earliest maps with the place name America, and possibly based on Waldseem ller's great 1507 wall map. This Apianus world map first appeared in the 1520 Viennese edition of Solinus's Polyhistor and is evidently found added to later editions of Solinus's Polyhistor as in the volume at hand.This example of Solinus includes 21 woodcut maps in all, including the added 1520 Peter Apian cordiform (heart-shaped) World Map. Also notable is the M nster Asia map (see below for more). The other two-page map Typus Graeciae, spans the hinge between Europe and Asia (the Aegean world and adjacent regions), while the single-page maps extend the geographic scaffolding with broader regional overviews. The remaining smaller woodcuts - covering key lands such as Britain, Italy, Rome, and other classical focal points - function like cartographic glosses: compact, immediate, and placed where a Renaissance reader would want a quick visual fix to complement the text.Peter Apianus 1520 World MapPeter Apian s 1520 woodcut world map (the Typus/Tipus Orbis Universalis, first issued with the 1520 Vienna edition of the Polyhistor) is a landmark of early-sixteenth-century cartography because it captures, in a single compact image, the moment when Ptolemaic structure began to give way to an Atlantic- and Pacific-oriented geography shaped by the first generation of oceanic exploration. Rendered in a striking truncated cordiform (heart-shaped) projection and broadly adapted from Waldseem ller s 1507 model, it helped naturalize the new Atlantic world within a classical frame, and it i.

First Camers edition. Pomponius Mela: Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1518. Editio princeps (first edition). Folio in 6s… and 4s (11 7/8" x 8 3/16", 301mm x 209mm). [Full collation available.] With Apianus' 1520 folding woodcut world map. Bound in contemporary clasped beveled wooden boards backed in alum-tawed pigskin. Authors and date in black (tarnished silver?) to the front cover. On the spine, six raised bands. Authors and titles ink manuscript to the first panel. "SOLINVS" ink manuscript to the upper edge of the text-block. Soiling to the spine, with some wear at the head. A quarter-inch loss to the upper fore-edge of the front board (above the clasp). The thongs of the clasps renewed. Some worming to the boards, continuing into the text-block (from the front paste-down to r3, affecting the text to b3), and from 2C4 to the end (mostly in a single track). Dampstain along the upper edge, mostly quite mild (heavy to F2 and surrounding leaves), sometimes at the fore and lower edges as well. An old fore-edge tab to 2L2 (Vadianus' letter). The map restored. Armorial bookplate of Coelestinus Steiglehner to the front paste-down, with the oval purple ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum. Ink institutional ownership inscription and shelfmark of the "Bibiliothecae Hungaricae Jankowichianæ/ H. ord. 13". Oval purple ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum and their rectangular deaccession stamp to the verso of the map as well as to the verso of the Pomponius Mela title-page. Oval black ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum and their rectangular deaccession stamp to the title-page. Mechanical ink-stamp ("600550") to the verso of the Solinus title-page. Gaius Julius Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi (On the wonders of the world) -- also called the Polyhistor ("very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Pomponius Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. Its editio princeps (1473) was before the discovery of the New World, and so its awareness of the world was surpassed only east- and southward. Over time, the Polyhistor along with the work of Pomponius Mela and Ptolemy became the framework for modern atlases. The present work is not (only) the Polyhistor but the commentary (enarrationes) of Johannes Camers )1468-1546), the Franciscan humanist. The cordiform (heart-shaped, though in reality more renal) map of Peter Apian (Petrus Apianus, 1492-1552) had long been thought the earliest appearance of "America" -- i.e., South America -- on a map, but it has been antedated by Waldseemüller's 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia, of which only one copy survives. It is thus the earliest obtainable map naming America. Pomponius Mela (d. AD 45) was born hard by the Strait of Gibraltar; it is no accident that as a resident of the end of the known world, he was the first Roman geographer whose work survives. Until Ptolemy was translated into Latin in 1406, it was the principal geographical work available in Europe. Joachim Vadianus (van Watt, 1484-1551) here edits for the first time Pomponius Mela's De orbis situ libri tres. Coelestinus II Steiglehner OSB (1738-1819), was the last prince-abbot of St. Emmeram's Abbey in Regensburg. Thereafter the volume came into the possession of the greatest Hungarian bibliophile of the early XIX, Miklós Jankovich (1772-1846), whose library was sold under financial necessity to the Hungarian Parliament, bringing it -- along with antiquities and art -- into the library of the Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum).

Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1518. Folio in 6s and 4s (11 7/8" x 8 5/16", 301mm x 212mm). [Full collation available.] With Apianus' 1520 w…oodcut world map excised and framed separately. Bound in contemporary stabbed vellum over later vellum, with three sets of red alum-tawed pigskin binding cords and yapp edges. On the spine, the authors in ink manuscript twice (horizontal at the head: "Solinus/ et/ Pomp. Mela" and lengthwise at the center ("SOLIN & POMPON"), and the remnants of paper spine lable at the head ("Camerti/././Solini"). Paper shelf-label ("130") at the tail. All edges of the text-block stained blue (Mela previously red). Presented in a cloth clam-shell box. The original binding laid over later vellum, with patches and losses to the original, as well as soiling, cockling and shrinkage. Old shelf-mark ("D.5.5.") to the front cover. Loss to the paper spine-label. No paste-downs, revealing old manuscript binder's waste. Tanning to the index of the Solinus (aa-ee) and throughout the Mela. Dampstaining to the upper fore-corner of the Mela 2k1-l1, and throughout along the lower edge. Losses to the lower fore-corners of 2c3 and 2e3, with splits along the gutter of 2k1. Old ownership inscription (". libro Guglielmi") to the front paste-down. Ink marginalia to 2i3r and to 2L4v. Particularly full margins (deckles at, e.g., the lower edge of quire 2p) both to the volume and to the map. Gaius Julius Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi ("On the wonders of the world") -- also called the Polyhistor ("very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Pomponius Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. Over time, the Polyhistor along with the work of Pomponius Mela and Ptolemy became the framework for modern atlases. The present work is not (only) the Polyhistor but the commentary (enarrationes) of Johannes Camers (1468-1546), the Franciscan humanist. Laid out in the traditional manner of a manuscript commentary, the text unfurls from the spine and is ringed on three sides by notes on the text. The text and commentary are followed by Camers's index of locations, which, as the title boasts, is indeed perco[m]modus Studiosis, very convenient for scholars. The cordiform (heart-shaped, though in reality more renal) map of Peter Apian (Petrus Apianus, 1492-1552) had long been thought the earliest appearance of "America" -- i.e., South America -- on a map, but it has been antedated by Waldseemüller's 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia, of which only one copy survives (in the Library of Congress; Waldseemüller also made gores for a globe in the same year, which survive in a few more instances). It is thus the earliest obtainable map to name the continent "America." The present example has unusually full margins. Pomponius Mela (d. AD 45) was born hard by the Strait of Gibraltar; it is no accident that as a resident of the end of the known world, he was the first Roman geographer whose work survives. A frequent source of Pliny (whose Historia naturalis has geographical components but belongs properly to a different genre), Mela bridges the gap between the Greek geographers (Eratosthenes, Ptolemy) and his successors; his knowledge of the expanding Roman Empire in western and northern Europe surpasses that of his predecessors. Until Ptolemy was translated into Latin in 1406, it was the principal geographical work available in Europe. Joachim Vadianus (van Watt, 1484-1551) here edits for the first time in print Pomponius Mela's De orbis situ libri tres ("three books on the description of the world"). Solinus: Adams S-1391; Aldin-Landis 520/25; Church 45; JCB 1:77; Sabin 86390; Shirley 45 (map). Mela: Sabin 63956; VD16 M 2310.

Paperback. Condizione: Very good. A SAMMELBAND OF ANCIENT GEORGAPHY BY AND FOR RENAISSANCE HUMANISTS. Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1520 (Mela: [1520]). Octavo (8 3/16" x 6", 208mm x 154mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in contemporary green laced and stabbed vellum with yapp edges. Traces of ink (titling?) t…o the spine. Vellum cockled and a little splayed, with some rubbing to the green pigment. Ties perished. Dark stain to the front board. Worming to the end-papers, but happily extending no further. Scattered foxing, mostly marginal. A small (lacquered pig-skin?) tab to the recto of the final page of the Solinus by way of a thumb-tab. An utterly unsophisticated volume. Although Ptolemy, who flourished in the AD IIc in Alexandria (Egypt), was the principal framework for expanding knowledge of the world from the end of the XVc, his appearance on the broader stage of European thought was quite late. Because his Geographical Guidance (?????????? ????????) was written in Greek, it was largely inaccessible to Continental scholars before it was translated into Latin in 1406. Pomponius Mela (d. AD 45) and Caius (Gaius) Julius Solinus (fl. ca. AD 225) together were the twin stars of Roman (i.e., Latin) ancient geography through the medieval period, and far more influential. Both texts had attracted extensive commentaries and indices (by Joannes Camers (Giovanni Ricuzzi), Joachim Vadianus, Johannes Roserius and Hermolaus Barbarus (Ermolao Barbaro)) -- like the later Nomenclator of Ortelius, a sort of gazetteer of places mentioned -- that made them part of curricula throughout Europe. Humanists -- particularly of the Northern Renaissance -- therefore, had a robust corpus of scholarship as well as the original texts with which to interact as they grappled with the results of voyages and explorations by sea: the world was far larger than their ancient sources had described. Solinus, Mela and Ptolemy would provide a scaffold onto which new information could be supported, and the study of those ancient authors proved vital to updating long-held conceptions about the world. Mela was born hard by the Strait of Gibraltar; it is no accident that as a resident of the end of the known world, he was the first Roman geographer whose work survives. A frequent source of Pliny (whose Historia naturalis has geographical components but belongs properly to a different genre), Mela bridges the gap between the Greek geographers (Eratosthenes, Ptolemy) and his successors; his knowledge of the expanding Roman Empire in western and northern Europe surpasses that of his predecessors. Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi (On the wonders of the world) -- also called the Polyhistor (?????????; "very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. In the same year as the present Sammelband (the date of the second treatise is inferred from the colophon of the first), the same printer-publisher team brought out a deluxe edition of Solinus with the commentary of Camers, and illustrated with an epochal map by Petrus Apianus, the second (after a 1507 Waldseemüller map that exists in a single example) to name the newly-discovered continents America. The present volume might be thought of as the scholar's version, humbler in scale but fuller in indices and its focus on the ancient text. The green vellum binding -- probably dyed with verdigris -- is quite unusual, especially at this date (there was a vogue for it in the XIXc, but this is doubtless contemporary with the text). Both works are quite rare; VD 16 locates only two copies of the Solinus and three of the Mela, all in German libraries. Solinus: VD16 S 6965; Mela: VD16 M 2312.

Printer's woodcut device to title and verso of final leaf, 2 folding woodcut maps, 18 woodcut maps in the text, text in roman type, commentary in italic. BINDING/CONDITION: Contemporary stiff vellum, manuscript title on spine; remnants of leat…her ties. (64V1H) Second edition of Sebastian Münster's annotated commentary of Solinus's and Mela's geographical texts with the "Asia Maior" folding map containing "THE EARLIEST REPRESENTATION OF THE NORTH-WEST COAST OF AMERICA ON A PRINTED MAP" (Burden). The cartographer of this map is unknown, but Burden conjectures that it is the work of Münster, who compiled the text. Burden further notes that the "Asia Maior" map shows one of the first delineations of a strait between Asia and America, some two hundred years before Bering's voyages to the region. At the time, there was still debate about the plausibility of a land mass connection between the Asian and American continents. No other issues of the woodblock for "Asia Maior" are known, and the only way to differentiate between the map in the first edition (1538) and the present, second edition is that the first bears the signature "t 4" in the lower right corner while the second has none.

Signatures: A(6), a(8), b-d(6), e(8); A-B(4), including 2 final blanks (title unsigned, A1 missigned, one of which is watermarked with c…rossed arrows). Roman type.

Modern leather, spine lettered in gilt DE SITUS ORBIS TERRANUM PESARO 1512, retaining 19th-century marbled wrappers that bear the excised arms of James Maidment (17931879), British antiquarian and literary collector (heraldry of three laurel slips on a chevron between three doves proper, armed crest, laid on front flyleaf); (margins cropped close affecting some marginalia, lightest spots on mostly the front text block edges (tabula), otherwise a complete and sound copy of this rare Latin geography). Extensive early Latin annotations, written in several hands, indexing the names of several mythological gods and goddesses (Athena, Proserpina, Cyclops, Romulus, and others) when the names show up in text, and names of geographical locations (Strongila /Strongylum), and natural history notations for elements "ignis" (fire) and minerals "Achates" (agate), "Corallium" (coral) as they are discussed in text; marginalia neatly ceasing on leaf XVI. Later pencil inscription recording the purchase from Sotheby's by Bernard Quaritch Ltd. (May 1925). Beautiful first folio edition of the De situ orbis terrarum by Girolamo Soncino (d. 1533), which he printed while active in Pesaro. The Soncino family specialized in printing Talmudic texts, especially Hebrew incunabula, and Girolamo (or Gershom) traveled extensively throughout his career in search of new manuscripts for his press. As fortune would have it, in 1512, Soncino produced this curious compendium of late antique knowledge written by the third-century Latin grammaticus Caius Julius Solinus (flourishing in Rome around 250 CE, or in following decades). The De situ orbis terrarum, originally titled the Polyhistor, was Solinus's "world tour" of tales, including those bizarre and miraculous, stretching from the ancient Roman Empire to the distant lands of the Near East and India. It was first published in Venice in 1493 with the title De situ orbis terrarum et memorabilibus. Solinus's ancient geography concerned matters topographical, botanical, and zoological, and extensively referenced Pliny's Natural History and the De situ orbis by Pomponius Mela. In the dedication, Solinus mentions a host of other authorities upon which he relied, including Varro, Homer, Virgil, Aristotle, Cato, Cicero, and Sallust. This Soncino edition was edited by Alexander Gabuardus de Turcella (fl. 15001516), a little-known sixteenth century editor, who made minor changes to the text of Solinus by adding lists of rivers, mountains, lakes, and peoples of the world from the work of Vibius Sequester, a fourth-century geographer.Gabuardus made a further addition by including a list of the provinces of the world, which was "edited for our time." Solinus's De situ orbis terrarum was an exceptionally popular work throughout the Middle Ages and early modern period; it was a practical catalogue of "memorable things" found in the natural world, known especially as an authority on geographical knowledge, although most of the details surrounding its existence remain a mystery. This copy is enhanced with the enthusiastic interaction of a Renaissance reader, who created a robust marginal index to the imaginative and historical content in thebeginning of the book probably weighing the relevancy of the text as definitive guide. This attractive work of Sonciniana remains a paramount classic for the Renaissance printing of a late Roman encyclopedic treatise. The De situ orbis terrarum is not commonly found in the US; OCLC locates institutional copies at the Morgan Library, Yale, American Antiquarian Society, Hebrew Union College-Cincinnati, and Universities of Illinois and Minnesota. USTCincludes also Duke. USTC no. 856988.

Half-Leather. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Folio (32 x 21 cm.), two parts in one volume: [20], 230, [2] pages; printer's device on title-page and on verso of final blank, historiated initials, 2 folding woodcut maps of Asia, 4 full-page maps, and 14 vignette maps in the text. Bound in 19th century half calf over marbled p…aper boards; contemporary ink ownership inscription on title page of Don Cristobal Bañes (perhaps Don Cristobal Bañez Salcedo, active in Seville, Spain in the late 17th century), as well as three ecclesiastical ownership stamps, one of which has been defaced with ink. EARLY EDITION OF SOLINUS'S WORK WITH "ASIA MAJOR" MAP SHOWING AMERICA AS "TERRA INCOGNITA". Second edition thus, first published with Munster's commentary in 1538, Solinus's Polyhistor is a collection of geographical accounts edited by Sebastian Münster. This work is renowned for its inclusion of a printed map bearing the earliest representation of the northwest coast of America as "Terra incognita" in the upper right-hand corner of the folding map of "Asia Major," the first complete map of Asia. This same map also shows one of the earliest depictions of a strait between Asia and America, nearly 200 years before Vitus Bering famously voyaged to this part of the world. At the time of publication, scholars and voyagers were still debating the plausibility of a land mass connection between the Asian and American continents. The Polyhistor also includes a second, detailed folding map of the Greek Isles and parts of modern day Turkey and Eastern Europe. Solinus was a legendary Roman geographer, grammarian and anthologist. His Polyhistor incorporated much of Pliny's Natural History and included Pomponius Mela's geography. There are brief remarks on a number of historical, social, religious and natural history questions. The Polyhistor was first issued in the middle of the third century. Münster, the editor of the 1538 and 1543 editions of the Polyhistor, is quite a significant figure in the history of sixteenth-century cartography. However, while there is little doubt that Münster edited and inserted his own commentary into the text of this 1543 edition, it is not clear whether he also served as its cartographer. Münster studied Hebrew at Heidelberg and was also a scholar of geography. In 1540 he published his own "updated" edition of Ptolemy's Geography, which included maps of the new or modern world. Münster was also one of the first cartographers to create space in the woodblock for the insertion of metal-typed place-names. Indeed, his decision to refer to the New World as "America" in his 1544 edition of the Cosmography greatly contributed to the name's endurance.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good+. First Edition. Folio. 2 volumes.Volume 1 1-824pp & Volume 2 285-1367pp + index Salmasius, Claudius 1588-1653, French humanist and philologist. Salmasius is known in French as Claude de Saumaise. After studying Latin and Greek with his father, he began a law career at Dijon in 1610. He turned to the…study of theology, Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian when his Protestantism impeded his advancement in law. In 1631 he was called to the Univ. of Leiden to succeed Joseph Scaliger. There he produced 80 books and became widely known as a scholar of the first rank. Supporting the Stuarts, he wrote Defensio regia pro Carlo I (1649), upholding the divine right of monarchy, which brought a celebrated dissenting reply from John Milton. Salmasius major works include an important commentary on Pliny (1629), and Observationes in jus Atticum et Romanum (1645). In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinuss Polyhistor, or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Bookplate of MP Charles Bathurst. Piece missing from top spine volume 1. Book.

From the collection of R. David Parsons. Caius Julius Solinus' Polyhistor, containing the famous double-page cordiform map by Peter Apianus: a cornerstone of American cartography and "the earliest obtainable map to name America" (Burden). Apianus' world map was issued bound into the 1520 Camertius edition of Solinus' Polyhistor,… a classical work of geographical history largely based on works by the Elder Pliny and Pomponius Mela. The map depicts two large landmasses west of Africa: the little-known North American coast, here simply called "Terra incognita," and the larger, more detailed South American continent, with the region's new name prominently displayed within a statement praising the voyager who discovered it: "Anno d 1497 haec terra cum adiacentibus insulis inuenta est per Columbum Ianuensem ex mandato Regis Castellae AMERICA prouincia." The map was modeled by Apianus after Waldseemüller's original cordiform wall-map of 1507. Waldseemüller's map, known in a single copy acquired in 2002 to great acclaim by the Library of Congress, was the first cartographic work to identify the new continent with the place-name "America." Though Waldseemüller first suggested the term in his pamphlet Cosmographiae Introductio, which accompanied his world map of 1507, controversy soon arose regarding Vespucci's actual achievements, and Waldseemüller did not use it in his two 1513 atlas maps, nor in his Carta Marina wall map of 1516. The term's re-adoption was doubtless facilitated by Apianus' prestige as a scholar and cartographer. His protégé, Laurent Fries, for instance, whose initials appear in the map's lower-left corner and who is credited by Shirley as its co-draftsman or wood-engraver, published his own edition of the 1513 Waldseemüller atlas in 1522, restoring the name "America" to its first world map; the Apianus map also appeared in a 1522 edition of Mela's De Situ Orbis with the name intact. Though Apianus' map is modeled almost exactly after Waldseemüller's and is indeed the first obtainable derivative of the twelve-sheet map of 1507 there is also a notable difference in their depictions of South America. Waldseemüller does not show the southern portion of the continent, as the current geographical convention held that South America eventually merged with an enormous, undiscovered Southern Continent. Apianus, however, clearly terminates the southern limit of South America well above the south polar regions. Though this conception of South America was only made possible by Magellan's circumnavigation still under sail in 1520 the explanation may lay in the fact that Apianus was working from a medieval geographic model that insisted on a balance of landmasses, and thus the correspondence of the southern extremes of South America and Africa.
