A well preserved copy of the original edition. Stevenson regards
Greuter’s globe as one of the most valuable in the large collection of the Hispanic
Society of America, adding that this first globe entitled Greuter to rank with the
leading globe makers of the Netherlands. Except the copy in the Hispanic Society there
is no other in America. A second edition of the ‘globe appeared in 1636, the third
edition passed hitherto under the name of the Roman engraver de Rossi. But for
Stevenson our present first edition remained almost unknown to cartographers. No
mention is made of it in the Catalogue of charts preserved in the British Museum, nor
in Nordenskjöld’s Facsimile-Atlas and Periplus, in Fiorini-Günther, Erd- u. Himmels-
globus and E. Verga, 11 Mercurio geografico.
Greuter’s sources of information are the charts issued by Blaeu and Jansson. He
has made no use of the world map published by de Rossi in his Mercurio geografico.
To the results reached by his predecessors he has added all the new discoveries made
by the Dutch, English and Portuguese up to the year 1628. As to China and Japan
he seems to have had before him some good charts furnished by the Jesuit missionaries.
Corea is traced as a peninsula, Yezo is given as an Island of middls size.
Of an exceptional interest are the geographical delinea-
tions and inscriptions concerning both America. ,.Hudson Bay,
which is left nameless, is represented without a definite coast line in the north, but
through a wide and extended channel it opens into .Fretum Davis'. The St. Lawrence
river appears to drain a Jake, which may be taken from its location to be Lake On-
tario; but the remaining four great lakes appear as one great inland sea with an outlet
of somewhat uncertain character northward towards Hudson Bay.“ (Stevenson p. 58.)
California is traced as an peninsula. The region around New York bears still
the name of Nieu Nederland. In South America the course of the Rio de la Plata,
of the Amazonas and Orinoco rivers may be followed up to the sources. In the
place of the Casiquiare there is still the large Lacus Parime. On the Rio de la Plata
there is marked the settlement of ,.Bonnes Ayeres“. Several legends contain notices
about the discoveries of Magelhaens, Lemaire, Drake, Hudson, Frobisher and Davis.
The „Terra Australis“ that is to say the antarctie continent is given in really enormous
dimensions, extending with two headlands over the tropic of Cancer. North of it there
is a second coast line, more exactly traced, as well as several Islands marked by
Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch names. Mention is made of Willem Schouten and
