      abstract = {Published by the Library of Congress in association with  London-based fine-art publisher D. Giles Limited, "The  Naming of America" tells the story behind the map's  creation in 16th-century France and rediscovery more than  300 years later in the library of Wolfegg Castle in  Germany. Of the 1,000 originally printed, it is the only  known copy to survive. Produced in 12 sheets, the 1507 map  represents the continents of North and South America  separated from Asia by the Pacific Ocean. The book shows  the composite view and features the first sheet-by-sheet  color facsimile. The book also includes a completely new  translation of and commentary by Hessler to the  "Cosmographiae Introductio," the seminal cartographic text  by Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann that is thought to  have originally accompanied the World Map. Together the  1507 map and the "Cosmographiae Introductio" occupy a  crucial place in history, between the discovery of the New  World by Columbus in 1492 and the birth of the scientific  revolution with Copernicus in 1543. - Library of Congress.},
