Sorry, it escaped me before ending and controlling it. Once for ever, the reason for I call for a MODERN CRITIC EDITION of the Cosmographiae Introductio has its reason in avoiding that anybody awaking a certain day might put his grain on the matter ignoring the work made by others and having no knowledge of Latin, Renaissance Latin, scienific language, Renaissance Science, linguistic context, projective geometry, cartography, history of exploration, epistemological methods, history of drawing and representation of space and so . . . for tens of disciplines! I submit - but I ensure you, it is my last message on this topic - two more translations, the best up to now, made in 1907 by Fisher and Wieser, and in 2008 by Hessler, both never quoted before. 1907: Introduction to Cosmography With Certain Necessary Principles of Geometry and Astronomy To which are added The Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci A Representation of the Entire World, both in the Solid and Projected on the Plane, Including also lands which were Un- known to Ptolemy, and have been Recently Discovered 2008: Introduction to Cosmography containing the requisite principles of geometry and astronomy besides the Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci and A proper representation of the whole world, both as a globe and a map, that includes remote lands unknown to Ptolemy recently brought to light I used the same lining as they didn't use punctuation.
