quote [ In April 1507, German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller (11 September 1470 – 16 March 1520) became the first person to use the word ‘America’ in a document, namely his Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii aliorumque lustrationes (The Universal Cosmography according to the Tradition of Ptolemy and the Discoveries of Amerigo Vespucci and others). ]

There's a really good book about this map called The Fourth Part of the Wold. It's one of those books that uses a particular subject to explore a larger historical story, like Glass or The Pencil.
