Labrador: its discovery, exploration, and development . 529, Wolfenbuttel B 1530, Ricardina1540, Deslien 1541, Sebastian Cabot 1544, and Descliers1546, the peculiarities of which will be discussed later. The maps known as the Egerton Portulan 1507, Ruysch 1508, and Majiolo 1511, are more crude in theirdelineation, but are all interesting, as they embody theidea that the newly found countries were the easternportion of Asia. The Ruysch map is particularly im-portant to us as it shows the veritable Greenland, sonamed, and Newfoundland labelled, for the first time, Terra Nova, but Labrador is not indicated. Two extremely important maps have recently beendiscovered at Wolfegg Castle, in Bavaria, by ProfessorFischer, S.J. One is the long-sought-for map ofWaldseemiiller, which was drawn to accompany anedition of Ptolemys Cosmography, published in 1507at the little town of St. Die in the Vosges mountains.The suggestion was first made in this edition thatthe New World should be called America, afterAmericus Vespucius, and the map now found puts the. KUXSTMAN XO. Ill Facing p. 62 CARTOGRAPHICAL EVOLUTION 63 suggestion into practice by so designing it for the firsttime. The coast of Newfoundland is shown almost exactlyas in the Cantino, Canerio, and King maps, andis labelled Litus Incognitum. It no doubt indicates, as they do, the country discovered by Corte Real.Engroenlandt is seen joined to the North of Europe, as it was long supposed to be, and as it appears onseveral fifteenth-century maps, especially those ofDonnus Nikolaus Germanus. The other map found is known as the Carta Marinaof Waldseemliller, 1516, and is the earliest map of thechart description extant. Here, again, Greenland isfound correctly outlined as it was in the Cantino map, but it is now labelled Terra Laboratoris, although, aswe have seen, Waldseemiiller had placed it on the mapof 1507 and correctly named it Greenland. This is thefirst and also the last time that Greenland, correctlydrawn, is called Terra La
