Il nome “America” compare per la prima volta su una mappa in un planisfero tedesco del 1507. Il suo autore era il cartografo Martin Waldseemüller e il suo titolo rimandava a una “Cosmografia universale secondo la tradizione di Tolomeo e le navigazioni di Amerigo Vespucci e altri”. A questa carta è dedicato il primo volume di una serie – “Orientamenti”, concepita in collaborazione con il Museo Galileo di Firenze – dedicata alla cartografia storica, ambito poco frequentato dall’editoria ma ricco di informazioni storiche, curiosità, tracce di idee e credenze e di raffigurazioni spettacolari dal punto di vista artistico. In questo caso la fama del planisfero – unico superstite di una tiratura di dodici, conservato alla Libreria del Congresso di Washington – è legata al fatto di presentare per la prima volta un toponimo che risuonerà nei secoli in tutto il globo, America. È lì che inizia la fine della tradizionale tripartizione del mondo, è l’arrivo del Mondo Nuovo. [Abstract translated by DeepL.com/Translator: This is the abstract in English… The name "America" first appeared on a map in a 1507 German planisphere. Its author was cartographer Martin Waldseemüller and its title referred to a "Universal Cosmography according to the tradition of Ptolemy and the navigations of Amerigo Vespucci and others." Dedicated to this map is the first volume of a series - "Orientamenti," conceived in collaboration with the Museo Galileo in Florence - devoted to historical cartography, a sphere little frequented by publishers but rich in historical information, curiosities, traces of ideas and beliefs, and artistically spectacular depictions. In this case, the fame of the planisphere-the only survivor of a run of twelve, preserved at the Library of Congress in Washington-is linked to the fact that it presents for the first time a place-name that will resonate throughout the centuries across the globe, America. It is there that the end of the traditional tripartition of the world begins; it is the arrival of the New World.]
