Researchers in Germany have discovered a rare world map by the 16th century cartographer Martin Waldseemueller, the man credited with naming the Americas. The 500-year-old document was found inside an unrelated book in a university library in Munich. Beth McLeod reports.
德国研究者发现了一张由16世纪制图师马丁·瓦尔特瑟米勒所绘制的罕见世界地图,瓦尔特瑟米勒因为美洲命名而知名。这个500年历史的文件是在慕尼黑一家大学图书馆里一本毫不相干的书中找到的。贝丝·麦克劳德报道。
The small map, printed in clear black ink on yellowing paper shows the world divided into 12 segments. The three segments to the right-hand side show a boomerang-shaped landmass called America – very different to the familiar outlands of northern South America that we know today. It's likely that Waldseemueller used information from accounts of early trans-Atlantic voyages. But intriguingly, he decided to name the new land after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci rather than Christopher Columbus.
这张小地图是用清晰的黑墨水印在一张黄色纸上的,显示世界被分为12个部分。右边的三个部分组成一个回飞棒形状的大陆,名叫美洲,与我们今天所熟知的北美地区很不一样。瓦尔特瑟米勒可能使用了早期跨大西洋航行的记录。但有趣的是,他决定以意大利探索者阿美利哥·维斯普西的名字来命名这块新大陆,而没有用克里斯多弗·哥伦布的名字。
