Peter Goos was only the publisher, but his name is used to designate the various issues of these remarkable and important charts. They include nine maps of special interest to the American student, besides the general World-map. The two maps of Eastern Asia and the South Sea, are similarly interesting to the Australian collector, and show traces of their derivation from the charts of Tasman's voyage.

FIRST EDITION; being also the first Collection of
Voyages produced in Germany.

The collection of the various works of which the
Novus Orbis is composed, was made by Joannes Huttich.

Grynæus wrote the preface (or rather dedication) as a
friend of the publisher.

The book begins with Munsteri (Seb.) Typi cosmo-
graphici declaratio; then proceeds to reprint the
Itinerarium Portugallensium. This is followed by
Vesputii Quatuor Navigationes (from the Cosmogra-
phia); Emanuelis Epistolæ ad Leonem X, 1513 (first
printed at Rome); Vartomanni (Lud.) Navigatio (from
the Latin translation made by Madrignano); Broccardi
Terræ Sanctæ Descriptio (from the edition printed at
Venice in 1519); Marcus Paulus de regionibus Orien-
talibus (from the text printed, as is thought, by
Gerard Leeuw); Haithon de Tartaris (from the edition
printed at Hagenau in 1529); Michov de Sarmatia (it
had been printed at Cracow in 1517, at Augsburg in
1518); Paulus Jovius de Legatione Moschovitarum (it
had been printed at Rome in 1525); Petri Martyris de
Insulis nuper repertis decas quarta (printed at Basel in
1521); and Stella de Borussiæ antiquitatibus (it had been
printed at Basel in 1518).

Nordenskiöld says, "In a geographical point of view this map far surpasses that of the Basel edition, as well in its greater richness of names and topographical details, as in due attention being here paid to the latest geographical discoveries.”

There is no difference between the two issues except

in their title-pages, Jean Petit and Galliot du Pré having
shared the expense of the edition between them.

The Paris book contains exactly the same matter as
the Basel edition of 1532.

Both these copies have the rare six leaves of Drake's Voyage round the World, which Hakluyt says in the preface he had not been allowed to print. They are inserted in the middle of sheet M and marked as signatures M 4-9, so as to enlarge that sheet from 6 to 12 leaves. This addition must have taken place in few instances. In both copies, also, Sir Jerome Bowes' account of the expedition to Russia is given in its corrected form,

printed this second time according to the true copie I received. . for the correction of the errours in the former impression." Neither copy has the pro-tem. map which Hakluyt inserted while awaiting the great work of Emeric Mollineux.
