Book Description
Excerpt from Verrazano the Navigator: Or Notes on Giovanni Da Verrazano and on a Planisphere of 1529 Illustrating His American Voyage in 1524; With a Reduced Copy of the Map; A Paper Read Before the American Geographical Society of New York November 28th 1871 The publication in 1825, edited by Navarrete, of Spanish documents relating to the discovery and explo ration of America, followed by the interesting life of Columbus by Washington Irving, and the Examen Critique by Von Humboldt, opened a field for studies in American comparative geography that is becoming fruitful of results. The last named work is a guide which all must consult. With a master hand the author combines and collates all attainable materials, and draws light from sources which he first brings to bear on his exhaustive investigations. The interest thus newly awakened by the appearance of these works, lent fresh activity to such researches, bringing out numerous hitherto neglected or unknown documents. Among these we may name the Ooleccz'on de Documentos Inéditos in forty - one volumes, of which a portion relate to the spanish-american possessions, and a last series devoted exclusively to America y Oceania, begun in 1864, and of which we have seen eleven volumes, ending m 1869. The Academy's edition of Oviedo's full work, in five folio volumes, is another contribution of a most valuable nature to early Ameri can history. Unluckily all these Spanish works are not accompanied by proper indexes, so that it becomes an arduous task to consult them.

Pages : 292
Book Description
A chance discovery at a distinguished London map fair in 2012 by a Belgian globe collector produced the most unique of finds: a distinct globe with mysterious images, such as old ships, sailors, a volcano, a hybrid monster, pentimenti, waving patterns, conic individualised mountains, curving rivers, vigorous coastal lines, chiaroscuro and an unresolved triangular anagram, which remains an enigma. The globe is hand-engraved in great detail on ostrich egg shells from Pavia by a left-handed Renaissance genius of unquestionable quality. It shows secret knowledge of the map world from the time of Columbus, Cabral, Amerigo Vespucci and Leonardo da Vinci. Central and North America are covered by a vast ocean. The da Vinci globe originates from Florence and dates from 1504. It marks the first time ever that the names of countries such as Brazil, Germania, Arabia and Judea have appeared on a globe. A Leonardo drawing for this globe, showing the coast of the New World and Africa has been discovered in the British Library. This book brings the reader through a fabulous journey of scholars, maps, riddles, rebuses, iconographic symbols and enigmatic phrases such as HIC SVNT DRACONES to illuminate the da Vinci globe. It details 500 years of mystery, fine scholarship and expert forensic testing at numerous material science laboratories the world over. The da Vinci globe now takes its rightful place, surpassing the Lenox globe, its copper-cast identical twin, as the most mysterious globe of our time. As such, this monograph is an essential text in Leonardo studies and in the history of cartography.
