The Waldseemüller Map

Universalis Cosmographia, or the Waldseemüller map, is a planisphere that was published under cartographer Martin Waldseemüller's direction in Saint-Dié and printed in Strasbourg in 1507. It includes the first appearance of the name America, honoring Amerigo Vespucci as the discoverer of the new continent. The Universalis Cosmographia Secundum Ptholomei Traditionem et Americi Vespucii Aliorumque Lustrationes accompanied a small geographical treatise entitled Cosmographiae Introductio.
