MARCH, 1904. No. 3. MAP OF THE WORLD, BY WALDSEEMÜLLER, MADE IN 1507, THE FIRST IN WHICH THE NAME AMERICA WAS USED TO DESIGNATE THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. "Waldseemiiller accompanied his work with the description that Americo Vespucio wrote of his four voyages, "quatuor Americi Vespucii navigational" and indicated also in a number of passages, especially in the title-page, and in connection therewith there was printed a representation both of the general and special outline of the lands unknown in the time of Ptolemy which were discovered afterwards: "Descriptio tam in solido quam plano, üs etiam insertis, que Ptholomeo ignota a nuperis reperta sunt." From this it was known by everyone that Waldseemüller had not only prepared a map of the world or chart of the universe in the usual form, a work which, judging from what he says in the latter part of Chapter IX of the book, was not only of great size, but also, in addition to the representation in piano, he had drawn another in distinct segments, which segments united at their edges and fastened conveniently to each other, as is shown in the construction of geographic globes, gives the full outline in solido, which was the object that was desired." http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA626&dq=%22in+solido+quam+plano%22&ei=w4_uTZq3LqTh0QGmmfHeAw&ct=result&id=o-Y3AQAAIAAJ#v=onepage&q=%22in%20solido%20quam%20plano%22&f=false -- Tom Ikins The Roman Map of Britain http://www.romanmap.com _______________________________________________ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.
