1512 Stobnicy Map 

This map from Jan ze Stobnicy’s Introduction to the cosmography of Ptolemy is one of the few contemporary sources to copy information directly from Waldseemüller’s 1507 Universalis cosmographiae. Examination of this map reveals that it was copied from the hemispherical insets that adorn the top of Waldseemüller’s 1507 world map.
