Notes This map is an updated version of one produced from Ptolemy's 2nd century account of world geography. In Europe, the voyages of exploration of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century radically changed the way people saw the world. The ‘hydrographers’ referred to in the title of the map are those European navigators who sailed to the Americas, and around the southern tip of Africa.
