What reading level is Maps Reproduced As Glass Transparencies, Selected to Represent the Development of Map-Making From the First to the Seventeenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The work here represented is, however, his best that has been preserved. His geographical in- formation was received from German and Portuguese sources, and he gives us practically the same representa- tion on a globe that Waldseemiiller gives in a plane map.
The continents of both North and South America he represents as large islands, the former curiously bearing the name " Terra de Cuba," and the latter " America vel Brasilia sive Papagalli Terra," that is, America or Brazil or the Land of P...arrots. Japan is in close proxim- ity to the west coast of North America, and Newfound- land or " Terra Corte Bealis " is a large island to the northeast. In the south, beyond South America, is rep- resented a large land area designated as "Brasilia In- ferior." It is especially interesting here to note that a strait separates this land from his " America," as a strait separates North from South America, and that this representation dates from 1520. Schoner had indeed indicated this strait, which is now called the Strait of Magellan, on his globe map of 1515.
