Title set in upper margin, margins decorated with 12 windheads, two wreaths to lower corners, one lettered "L.A." for Luca Atantses, a financier of the map's production, and "L.F." for Lorenzen Fries, a draughtsman, and "J.K." for Johannes Camertius. Condition: lightly browned along central fold, lower margin trimmed close with little loss to the word "Meridies." an important world map, recognised as the first attainable to name "america." Peter Bienewitz (Apianus) was a Professor of Mathematics in Vienna, and a Geographer and mapmaker. He modelled this map on Waldseemuellers 1507 wallmap.
