		In “Universalis Cosmographia,” the first map that depicts the New World as two continents, Waldseemüller designates the Southern landmass “America”—the first appearance of this name on a map.
		Cosmographia was one of the most influential works on geography in the mid-sixteenth century; it was translated into five languages and published in forty different editions.
		It depicts the false Sea of Verrazano and the Northwest Passage and presents a view of North America that precedes the Spanish explorations to the interior of the continent.

		De door L. Gallois in 1890 ontdekte aardglobe en de door J. Fischer in 1902 teruggevonden wereldkaart bevestigen de opvatting dat Waldseemüller de eerste was om het nieuwe werelddeel de naam "America" te geven.

		Waldseemüller, later changed his mind on Amerigo Vespucci's credibility, and the name of America was omitted from his later maps.
		Cosmographiae Introductio had a wide circulation, as well as the map.
		It is ironic that the man that gave the name to the land discovered by Columbus, never visited America, and depended on his knowledge of this land, from the writings of others.

		The actual triumph of this newly conceived cosmography was established by the scholar Sebastian Münster from Basel.
		Also the New World was treated more extensively from edition to edition, whereby the timeliness of the texts, pictures and maps could not keep up with the rapid progress of the geographic, ethnographic and historical knowledge.

	The Naming of America
		An accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, explains that the name was derived from that of the explorer Amerigo Vespucci, a Florentine navigator, by first Latinizing it to ‘Americus Vespucius’ and then forming the feminine ‘America’.
		The baptismal passage in the Cosmographiae Introductio has commonly been read as argument, in which the authors said that they were naming the newly discovered continent in honor of Vespucci and saw no reason for objections.
		But, as etymologist Joy Rea has suggested, it could also be read as explanation, in which they stated that they had heard that this land was called America and that the only explanation lay in Vespucci's name.
