In the year 1520 Peter Apianus published in his edition of Solinus’ Polyhistor a world map, following therein the general design of Waldseemüller in his world map of the year 1507. The map of Apianus has long been regarded as one of the most important of the early printed maps on which the New World is represented. Until the recent discovery by Professor Joseph Fischer of Waldseemüller’s long-lost map, it has frequently been referred to as the first engraved map on which the name “America” appears. The ‘Cosmographia’ of Apianus, first issued in the year 1524, was frequently reissued thereafter, notably by Gemma Frisius.
