World Mao 1507 - A Glimpse into the Cartographic World of the 16th Century This map, titled World Mao 1507, is an exquisite example of cartographic artistry from the 16th century. The map, created during the Renaissance period, showcases an intriguing representation of the known world at that time. Produced around 1507, this map predates many of the more famous world maps of the era, such as those by Mercator and Ortelius. The World Mao 1507 is named after its creator, the Italian cartographer, and engraver, Matteo Pagano, also known as Matthias Ringmann or Matthias Rinckloff, who worked under the pseudonym 'Mao.' This map is considered one of his most significant works. The map is notable for its unique features, such as its depiction of Asia, which is more accurate than many maps of the time. It also includes the first recorded representation of the Gulf of California, which was later named the 'California Channel' by Hernán Cortés. The map displays a wealth of geographical knowledge, as well as fascinating details about the myths and legends of the era. The World Mao 1507 is a testament to the advancements in cartography during the 16th century, a time when explorers were pushing the boundaries of the known world. This map serves as a reminder of the curiosity and wonder that drove people to discover new lands and expand their horizons. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical maps or cartographic art.
