Notes
Waldseemuller’s ‘modern’ map of Switzerland published in the seminal atlas of 1513.
Along with the twenty-seven Ptolemaic maps, Waldseemüller also added a second section of twenty modern maps, which was the first major attempt to break away from the Ptolemaic tradition. The present map of Switzeraland, is the first modern – i.e. non-Ptolemaic – map of the county. It differs stylistically from the other modern maps and was probably adapted from a manuscript map by Konrad Türst of circa 1495.
