Johann stabius's 1515 world map, whose engraving is credited to albrecht dürer. A planisphere globe surrounded by the twelve winds, equivalent to ptolemy's third projection. The arms of matthäus cardinal lang von wellenburg, archbishop of salzburg, at upper left; the arms of johann stabius, imperial astrologer, at lower left. Dedication to cardinal lang at upper right; imperial privilege and date at lower right. As no 16th-century copies are known to survive and the image lacks the subtitle of adam von bartsch (1757-1821)'s 1781 reprint, it is presumably from carl ritter (1779-1859)'s 1847 edition. Date: 1847.
