This book is a richly illustrated study of Martin Waldseemüller's printed world maps of 1507 and 1516, two of the most important maps of the sixteenth century. The 1507 map is the first to apply the name America to the New World and to show an ocean to the west of the New World, and the 1516 Carta marina is the first printed nautical chart of the world. Each of the twelve sheets of the two maps is reproduced in full color, at 11 x 14 inches; the book also includes folded composites of both maps, approximately 4 feet wide and 2 feet long, in pockets inside the front and back covers. The commentaries on the maps by John Hessler and Chet Van Duzer include 24 illustrations of other maps and diagrams, all in color. Hessler's and Van Duzer's scholarship sheds important new light on the maps, describing the cultural milieu in which they were produced, showing how the maps reflect the development of Waldseemüller's cartographic thought, and revealing some of the sources that the cartographer used.
