Podcast appearances and mentions of martin waldseem

Americo Vespuccio fue un navegante y cartógrafo florentino que participó en varios viajes de exploración a América a finales del s. XV y principios del s. XVI. Fue de los primeros en sugerir que las tierras descubiertas por Colón no eran parte de Asia, sino un “Nuevo Mundo” desconocido. Su nombre fue donado al continente por el cartógrafo Martin Waldseemüller, quien, en 1507, utilizó ‘América' en un mapa en honor a Vespuccio.

Reyes Católicos fue la denominación que recibieron los esposos Isabel I de Castilla y Fernando II de Aragón, soberanos de la Corona de Castilla y de la Corona de Aragón, cuya unión dinástica marcó el inicio de la formación territorial del Reino de España.Universalis Cosmographia o Planisferio de Waldseemüller es un planisferio publicado bajo la dirección del cartógrafo Martin Waldseemüller en Saint-Dié e impreso en Estrasburgo en 1507, en el que por primera vez se utiliza el nombre de «América» al considerar a Américo Vespucio descubridor del nuevo continente.

Im Jahr 1507 veröffentlicht Martin Waldseemüller eine Weltkarte, die heute zu den bekanntesten kartografischen Werken überhaupt zählt. Denn auf dieser Karte wird der wiederentdeckte Kontinent auf der anderen Seite des Atlantiks zum ersten Mal „America“ genannt – zu Ehren von Amerigo Vespucci. Die Waldseemüller-Karte gibt der Forschung aber bis heute Rätsel auf, denn der Kartograf zeichnet „America“ als freistehenden Kontinent ein und trifft den Verlauf der Westküste Südamerikas erstaunlich genau. Wie kann das sein, wo Waldseemüller in einer kleinen Stadt in den Vogesen – abseits der großen Seefahrtzentren – arbeitet, offenbar selbst nicht von seiner Darstellung überzeugt ist und die europäischen Schiffe noch gar nicht in den Pazifik vorgedrungen sind?

Christophe Colomb, Vasco de Gama, Fernand de Magellan… Les navigateurs-explorateurs des XVe et XVIe siècles font encore bien souvent rêver, car ils sont associés aux récits d'aventures, de découvertes, et sont généralement présentés comme des personnages centraux d'épopées héroïques.

1507 zeichnete Martin Waldseemüller mit Unterstützung von Matthias Ringmann eine Weltkarte – die erste Weltkarte, in der das, was wir heute unter dem Namen Amerika kennen, als eigener großer Kontinent eingezeichnet war. In diese Landmasse eingetragen steht auch, relativ klein, der Name, den die beiden sich für diesen Kontinent ausgedacht haben: America. Das taten sie in Würdigung des italienischen Seefahrers Amerigo Vespucci (1451 - 1512). Von Gábor Paál | Text und Audio dieses Beitrags stehen unter der Creative-Commons-Lizenz CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.

In 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller drew a map of the world in which there was the word "America" ​​to refer to the western continent. The naming is named after an Italian explorer and cartographer named Amerigo Vespucci. The first documentation related to the use of the phrase "United States of America" ​​is contained in an anonymous essay published in the Virginia Gazette newspaper in Williamsburg, Virginia on April 6, 1776. In June 1776, Thomas Jefferson used the phrase "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" with capital letters in the title line of the draft Declaration of Independence. However, in the final version of the Declaration of Independence, the title was changed to "United States of America". In 1977, the Article of the Confederation officially stated: "The name of this Confederacy must be 'The United States of America'". The short form "United States" (United States) is also often used as a standard form of this country. Other common forms are "U.S.", "USA", and "America". The daily name is "U.S. of A.", and internationally it is sometimes only referred to as "the States". "Columbia," a popular word in poetry and songs in the late 1700s, was first put forward by Christopher Columbus; this word forms the basis for naming "District of Columbia". The standard designation for referring to United States citizens is "American". "United States", "American" and "U.S." also used to refer to matters relating to the United States. In English itself, the term "American" is rarely used to refer to subjects not related to the United States. Despite the fact that America is a continent and there are many other countries on the continent, the term "America" ​​is generally used only to refer to matters relating to the United States. The phrase "United States" was originally functioned as a plural form to describe a collection of independent states, for example in the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified in 1865, it read: "the United States are ...". This phrase is then generally functioned as a singular; for example, after the end of the Civil War, it was stated: "the United States is ...". This singular form has been used as a standard until now, but the plural form is still retained in the idiom "these United States". This difference is considered not as a misuse of the word, but to reflect the difference between a collection of states (states) and a sovereign state (country). In non-English languages, the naming of this country is often translated from the phrases "United States" and from "United States of America", and generally also known as "America". In addition, initials / abbreviations are sometimes used. For example, in Spanish, the general designation for "United States" is "Estados Unidos", derived from the words "states" and "united", and abbreviated as "EE.UU."; double letters indicate that this word is used as a plural in Spanish. In Indonesian, the name used is United States, derived from the phrase "United States of America", with a short form of US, and generally also referred to as "America" ​​only.

Chet Van Duzer's new book Martin Waldseemüller's 'Carta marina' of 1516: Study and Transcription of the Long Legends (Springer, 2019), presents the first detailed study of one of the most important masterpieces of Renaissance cartography. By transcribing, translating into English, and detailing the sources of all of the descriptive texts on the map, as well as the sources of many of the images, the book makes the map available to scholars in a wholly unprecedented way. In addition, the book provides revealing insights into how Waldseemüller went about making the map -- information that can't be found in any other source. The Carta marina is the result of Waldseemüller's radical re-evaluation of what a world map should be; he essentially started from scratch when he created it, rejecting the Ptolemaic model and other sources he had used in creating his 1507 map, and added more descriptive texts and a wealth of illustrations. Given its content, the book offers an essential reference work not only on this map, but also for anyone working in sixteenth-century European cartography. This book is available open access here.

Chet Van Duzer, an accomplished historian of cartography, trains his sight in this book on one uniquely important map produced in early modern Europe. The 1491 world map by Henricus Martellus has long been deemed “an essentially unstudiable object,” its legends and descriptions illegible to the unaugmented eye. Now, aided by multispectral imaging technology — and a dogged team of technicians — Van Duzer has rendered Martellus legible and reproduced the map in vivid form, both in the pages of this book and, still more systematically, in an online space that accompanies the text. Van Duzer's new book Henricus Martellus's World Map at Yale (c. 1491): Multispectral Imaging, Sources, and Influence (Springer, 2019) is both an example of and an articulate argument for the possibilities of multispectral imaging. In tracing the circuits by which Martellus came to inform subsequent geographic knowledge — as manifest in Martin Behaim's 1492 globe, in Christopher Columbus's own wager that the “New World” might become accessible to European eyes, and most profoundly in Martin Waldseemüller's world map of 1507, which first applied the name “America” in its modern sense — Van Duzer argues for a radically new understanding of this period in cartographic representation. Moreover, in considering Martellus's own influences, which included inter alia African traditions of mapping the lands south of Egypt, he adds critical complexity to our understanding of how — and for how long — European and non-European geographic practices have been entwined. In its sources, its methodology, and its ultimate revisions to received narratives of cartographic priority, the book has the flavor of an early modern detective tale. It will reward scrutiny by a wide readership. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Moreover, in considering Martellus’s own influences, which included inter alia African traditions of mapping the lands south of Egypt, he adds critical complexity to our understanding of how — and for how long — European and non-European geographic practices have been entwined. In its sources, its methodology, and its ultimate revisions to received narratives of cartographic priority, the book has the flavor of an early modern detective tale. It will reward scrutiny by a wide readership. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chet Van Duzer, an accomplished historian of cartography, trains his sight in this book on one uniquely important map produced in early modern Europe. The 1491 world map by Henricus Martellus has long been deemed “an essentially unstudiable object,” its legends and descriptions illegible to the unaugmented eye. Now, aided by multispectral imaging technology — and a dogged team of technicians — Van Duzer has rendered Martellus legible and reproduced the map in vivid form, both in the pages of this book and, still more systematically, in an online space that accompanies the text.

Martin Waldseemüller's Carta marina of 1516 has always remained in the shadow of his 1507 map--less famous and less studied. In fact the Carta marina is in several ways more interesting than the 1507 map: it is the result of Waldseemüller's radical re-evaluation of what a world map should be. Waldseemüller essentially started from scratch in creating the Carta marina, rejecting the Ptolemaic model and other sources he had used in creating the 1507 map, and adding more descriptive text and a rich program of illustration. In this talk Van Duzer examines the differences between the two maps and discuss the new sources that Waldseemüller used, placing particular emphasis on his iconographical sources.
