The map, showing the Americas as two separate continents separated by a strait, the northernmost an elongated island labeled "Terra de Cuba", is "geographically... quite antiquated and was probably prepared prior to 1532 [date of the first edition] based partly on the world configuration depicted in the Schöner globes, or on Apian's map of 1520" (Shirley). Provenance : Early inscriptions on title-page: "Ex bibliotheca Fran. Raufferi(?)"
