FAMOUS MAPS FOUND.
One Of Them Was the First to Con-
tain the Name America


Two of the most famous maps Of the colum-
bian era of discovery have never been seen in
modern times till within the past few weeks.
Some OF the German Biographies have hunted
assiduously for them in archives and libra
ries. 1t began to be thought that the last
copies of them had been destroyed but a COPY
of each has now been accidentally discovered.

who is preparing scientific work on the dis

the two long-lost wall maps. They were made
by the German photographer. Martin Waldsee
muller, early in the sixteenth century. The
maps were in sheets. slowed away in folio
that, perhaps had not been opened in many
generations One of them. issued in 1907, is
appears. The other map was published In
1916. Both maps had great influence In their
new world. and the earlier map, together with
the accompanying ietterpfess, is respOnslble
for the name which was given to the Two
great continents that were revealed BY Co
lumbus and those who followed HIM. The
story of this important find has just been told
in Pettermann's MIteilungen by Prof. DR.. Won
Wieser who had long sought for the missing
Waldseemulor wall maps.
In 1907. when waldseemuller published the
earlier OF these MAPS he also published
small explanatory treatise in Latin entitled
''Cosmographiae Introductio." with APP
Of Amer!go Vespucci This little work was
chiefly renal kable because the name Anne. lea
was first proposed in it. The author said in
his pamphlet:
And the fourth part OF the world having
been discovered by Americas II may be called
Amerige: that is, the land of Americas, or
America"
II was not long before the suggestion was
adopted the name being first applied to
south America and later extended over the
whole OF the western world.
only a few copies Of the original Cos
nographiae Introductio'' are known to exist.
The copies that are in American libraries
were bought at high prices and art treasured
with much care.
Waldseemuller is known to most Of the
world only as the man who. surprising that
Vespucci was the first discoverer Of the Amer
lean mainland, suggested that II be named
