The similarities between the anonymous Paris Gilt Globe, the Stuttgart globe gores attributed to Johannes Schoener, and the lost globe described by Franciscus Monachus have long been noted. It is argued here that the Gilt Globe and Stuttgart Gores may be the globe described by Franciscus. There has never been a complete translation made of Franciscus’ De Orbis Situ out of its sixteenth century Latin and the present article is based on the author’s own translation (published separately in this issue). Particular attention is given to his treatment of the southern continent and its impact on other geographers and map-makers of his own time and subsequently.
