Wiens Buchdruckergeschichte p. 211/12. Mayer p. 38, 41, 43.
Most important and interesting „Americanum“, containing the remar-
cable and very interesting large woodcut map, here finely coloured by an
old hand. The map is generally wanting. It is within an ornamented border,
and the upper frame bears the following inscription: [T]IPvs ORBIS VNIVER-
SALIS IVXTA PTOLOMEI COSMOGRAPHI TRADITIONEM ET AME/RICI VES-
PVCII ALIOR’QVELVSTRATIONES APETROAPIANO LEYSN1COELVCBRJ9/A
DO. M. DXX/ Therefore the map is designed by Peter Apianus, who was
born at Leisnig (in Saxony) in 1495 and died in 1552 at Ingolstadt, famous mathe-
matician at court of Charles V. On this map the southern continent of America
is separated from the northern, which is termed „Terra incognita". The southern
continent bears the inscription: Anno I d. 14971 hec terra cum adiacetib9/insults
inuent9 est per I Columbum lanuensem / ex mandate regts Castelie I AMERICA /
puincia. All the lettering on the map is in woodcut. The equator is coloured
in gold, the continents in green, yellow and rosy, the rivers and the sea in blue,
and the mountains in geen. This map is also remarkable, as the whole globe,
excepting the region in the vicinity of the South Pole is here for the first time
drawn on Ptolemy’s homeoter projection (see Nordenskjold, Facs. Atl.)
The Franciscan Giov. Rienzzi Vellini, named Camers, from Camerino in
Umbria, was professor at Vienna (1468—1546). He edited this edition supported
by some other anonymous authors.
In the first II. a small wormhole, otherwise an unusual fine and clean
copy, the map is in best condition, a few MS. annotations.
Bound with:
Pomponius Mela. Libri de situ orbis tres, adiectis Joachimi Vadiani
in eosdem scholiis: Addita quoque in Geographiam Catechesi: et Epi-
stola Vadiani ad Agricolam digna lectu. (Ad end:) Viennae Pannoniae,
expensis Lucae Alantse per Joa. Singrenium, 1518. The title with
a highly ornamented border and Alantse’s mark at end.
23 unn. + 133 (erroneously 132 numb.) leaves + 2 unn. 11., the last blank.
Harrisse 92. Denis, Wiens Buchdruckergeschichte p. 186/88. Mayer 38/39,
145, 156.
In this famous work we find on verso of 1. numb. 124 and recto of 1. 128,
in the epistle of Vadianus to Agricola, two passages relating to America. Fine
imprint by Joh. Singriener of this edition with the commentary of Vadianus.
Large and clean copy, slightly wormed, MS. annotations.
These two important Americana are bound together in the fine
original binding, wooden boards, back covered with nicely blind stamped
brown calf, on front cover the title Pomponi9. Inside frontcover the armorial
book-plate in woodcut of Christophorus a Trenbach. Canonicus Pataviensis in
excellent condition.
See Reproduction, plate XLVI.

cae Aristotelis. Annotatur in marginibus si quando author in hisce commentariis
