In 1507, a German cartographer working in Saint Dié, in the Duchy of Lorraine, created a world map that, for the first time, included the continental landmasses in the Western hemisphere, discovered within the fifteen previous years. He inserted the name 'America' on the southern continent, honoring Amerigo Vespucci, who had erroneously been credited with setting foot on South American soil before Christopher Columbus. Schwartz brings to life the amazing history of America's 'baptismal certificate'.

Cet ouvrage a pour but de montrer la survivance des idées médiévales dans la cartographie du XVIe siècle, sous plusieurs aspects originaux. Même si la découverte du Nouveau Monde introduisit d'évidents changements, l'influence de la description de l'orbis tripartitus médiéval reste sensible au XVIe siècle. Tandis que l'on aperçoit au seizième siècle la naissance de la cartographie scientifique, l'étude démontre la survivance des mirabilia (animaux exotiques et monstres humains) et de la figure de deux souverains fréquemment représentés sur les mappae mundi médiévales, Alexandre le Grand et Prêtre Jean.
