The Waldseemüller map, Universalis Cosmographia, is a wall map of the world drawn by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller originally published in April 1507. It was one of the first maps to chart latitude and longitude precisely, following the example of Ptolemy, and was the first map to use the name "America". Waldseemüller also created globe gores, printed maps designed to be cut out and pasted onto spheres to form globes of the Earth.

  • The Waldseemüller map, Universalis Cosmographia, is a wall map of the world drawn by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller originally published in April 1507. It was one of the first maps to chart latitude and longitude precisely, following the example of Ptolemy, and was the first map to use the name "America". Waldseemüller also created globe gores, printed maps designed to be cut out and pasted onto spheres to form globes of the Earth. At the time this wall map was drawn, Waldseemüller was working as part of the group of scholars of the Vosgean Gymnasium at Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in Lorraine, which in that time belonged to the Holy Roman Empire. The maps were accompanied by the book Cosmographiae Introductio produced by the Vosgean Gymnasium.
  • ヴァルトゼーミュラー地図（-ちず、英名:Waldseemüller map）は、ドイツの地図製作者マルティン・ヴァルトゼーミュラーにより描かれた地図。初めは1507年4月に公表された。プトレマイオスの例に倣って、経度と緯度を正確に図表で表した最初の地図の一つであり、また初めて「アメリカ」という名称を用いた地図でもある。ヴァルトゼーミュラーは、球体に切り取って貼ると地球儀を作ることができるようデザインされた、地球儀用の三角巾も製作している。 ヴァルトゼーミュラーはフランス、ロレーヌ地域圏のサン＝ディエ＝デ＝ヴォージュにある、ヴォージュ・ギムナジウムの学者団の一人として勤務していた。彼の作成した地図は、ヴォージュ・ギムナジウムが出版した書籍「宇宙誌入門（Cosmographiae Introductio）」で使用されている。
