Mundus Novus ('New World') is a travelogue in the form of letters sent by the sailor and explorer Amerigo Vespucci in 1502 to the Florentine nobleman Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco di Medici. Vespucci is credited with four journeys to America, eventually leading to Martin Waldseemüller's map 'Cosmographiae Introductio' in which the name 'America' first appeared. 14:00
