Summary

Title
Latina: Planiglobii Terrestris cum Utroq Hemisphaerio Caelesti Generalis Exhibitio...
Description
English: This double-hemisphere world map features insets of the celestial northern hemisphere and the celestial southern hemisphere, both of which show the mythological figures and objects of the constellations. Windheads and illustrations of a volcanic eruption, earthquake, tides, water-spouts, and a rainbow decorate the four corners of the composition. The map shows California as insular and traces the sailing routes of the explorers Magellan, Olivier van Noort, William Dampier, Abel Tasman, and Juan Gaetano. Nuremberg cartographer and map publisher Homann and his family later produced a number of celestial and selenographical (lunar) charts in conjunction with the Nuremberg astronomer and mathematician Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677-1750). Many of these charts were featured in Doppelmayr's Atlas coelestis, which Homann's Heirs published in 1742.
