[146] The full title of this significant volume reads: 'Cosmographiae Introductio cum quibusdam geometriae ac astronomiae principiis ad eam rem necessariis, insuper quatuor Americi Vespucci navigationes. Universalis Cosmographie descriptio tam in solido [=q][z] plano eis etiam insertis que Ptholomeo ignota a nuperis reperta sunt.' 'Introduction to Cosmography with certain necessary principles of geometry and astronomy to which are added the Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci a representation of the entire world, both in the solid (globe?) and projected on the plane, including also lands which were unknown to Ptolemy, and have been recently discovered.' Two editions of the work appeared in 1507, and others at later dates. An excellent reproduction of Waldseemüller's book in facsimile, with English translation, was published by the United States Catholic Historical Society under the title, 'The Cosmographiae Introductio of Martin Waldseemüller in Facsimile followed by the Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci with their Translation into English.' Ed. by C. G. Herbermann. New York, 1907.
