NOTES ON ILLUSTRATIONS

PAGE

Woodrow Wilson (photogravure) Frontispiece

Facsimile of annotations in the handwriting of Christopher Columbus.—From Harrisse’s Notes on Columbus, opposite p. 84, after a copy of Cardinal Pierre d’Ailly’s Imago Mundi, printed about 1490, and preserved in the Biblioteca Colombina, at Seville, Spain. The annotations shown appear on the margin of p. 18 of that copy 3

Marco Polo.—Adapted from an engraving in Ruge’s Geschichte des Zeitalters der Entdeckungen, p. 53, which was taken from an old portrait in the possession of Monsignor Badia, of Rome. The oldest attempt to give a portrait of him appeared in the first printed edition of his travels, issued at Nuremberg in 1477. Col. Henry Yule says, in his Book of Ser Marco Polo, vol. i., p. cii., that “there is no portrait ... with any claim to authenticity.” 5

Toscanelli map.—Facsimile of a conjectural restoration of a supposed map of Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli, sent by him to Columbus in 1474, and by which, some claim, Columbus sailed on his first voyage across the Atlantic. This view has been recently controverted in a work by Henri Vignaud. Reproduced from Winsor’s America, vol. ii., p. 103. A larger map—a newer interpretation—is given by Gustavo Uzielli in his ponderous volume on the life and times of Toscanelli, written in Italian and published under the auspices of the Minister of Public Instruction of Rome in 1894 6

Nine lines from the “Cosmographiæ Introductio,” in which the name America first occurs.—This work was compiled by Martin Waltzemüller or Waldseemüller, a native of Freiburg, whose name is also found as Hylacomylus, its grecized form. The first part of his treatise is an introduction to cosmography, while the second part gives the four navigations of Americus Vespucius. Several editions, differing typographically, were issued at St. Dié, in Lorraine, in 1507. The facsimile is from one of these editions in the New York Public Library (Lenox Building) 7
