Double-page woodcut map of the world on a truncated cordiform projection, title set at upper margin, the map decorated with twelve windheads, wreaths at lower right and left with initials LA (Luca Atantses) who paid for the production, LF (Lorenz Fries), who assisted with the draughting, and JK (Johannes Camertius). (Some light browning along centre fold, lower margin shaved with the loss of the lower part of the word Meridies .) AN IMPORTANT WORLD MAP, RECOGNISED AS THE EARLIEST'AVAILABLE'MAP TO SHOW THE NAME OF AMERICA. Peter Bienewitz (Apianus) was a Professor of Mathematics in Vienna, as well as a mapmaker and writer on Geography. He modelled his 1520 map on Waldseemüllers 1507 wall map. As was the trait at the time, the map was issued bound into an edition of Solinus's Polyhistor published in Vienna in 1520 and is also found bound into Mela's De Sita Orbis published in Basle, 1522. The map shows the influence of Lorenz Fries, of Strasbourg, a great follower on Waldesmüller, who together with Gr/uuninger, in the period 1520-25, republished and revised much of material left by the great geographer.
