To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This map (11^x16 inches) was drawn by Euysch, a German navigator, who is believed to have sailed with Americus. It was forbidden to infringe its copyright or that of the geography which contained it, on pain of excommunication, but the price of the work was to be fixed by the Pope's librarian. Such a defense of the public from booksellers, and of authors from pirates is now, alas ! one of the Lost Arts. Humboldt arguing that Americus never knew that he had discovered a continent, holds that the... words Mundus Novus (new world), in the fifteenth century, meant no more than any region new found, no matter though of small extent. Ad mitting the phrase to have been often thus used, it clearly was not as to the case in hand. The title of the first German edition (1505) of the third voyage of Americus is, " Concern ing a new found region which may well be named a world. " Von der neu gefundenen Region die wohl eine Welt genennt mag werden. Again the Mundus Novus on Ruysch's Roman map was well-nigh as extensive as we now know South America to be, and larger than Europe.
