Orontius Finaeus, 1531, reprinted 1889. Top: 'Terra Australis' on the left. Europe, Russia, the North Pole, China and northern Africa on the right. Bottom: parts of recently-invaded north and south America; Europe, Africa and Asia. 'This is the forme of a Mappe sent 1527 from Sivill [Seville] in Spayne by maister Robert Thorne marchaunt, to Doctor Ley Embassadour for king Henry the 8. to Charles the Emperour, And although the same in this present time may seeme rude, yet I have set it out, because his booke could not well be understood without the same. The imperfection of which Mappe may be executed by that tyme: the knowledge of Cosmographie not then beyng entred among our Marchauntes, as nowe it is'. After a map by Robert Thorne.
