RAVENSTEIN (E.G.)
MARTIN Behaim: His Life and his Globe. With a facsimile of the globe printed in colours, eleven maps and seventeen illustrations. London: George Philip & Son, 1908.

viii, 124 pp., 4 est. à parte: il.; 395 mm.

Important study on the oldest known terrestrial globe. Martin Behaim’s globe, known as the Erdapfel (Earth Apple), was created between 1490 and 1492 in Nuremberg, shortly before Christopher Columbus’s voyage. Produced on parchment glued to a sphere of paper and wood, it represents the world according to the geographical knowledge of the time, based on sources such as Ptolemy, reports from medieval travelers and Arab maps. This is a remarkable piece of history of cartography and the geographical mindset of the late Middle Ages.
