Detail of the map on which the name “America” appears for the first time

The German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller creates a world map with the help of his partner Matthias Ringmann . Together with a terrestrial globe and an inscription, it is to be seen as a three-part project, to which Waldseemüller gives the Latin name Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii aliorumque lustrationes ( The complete cosmography according to the tradition of Ptolemy and Amerigo Vespucci and according to other illustrations ). At Ringmann's suggestion, the two scholars name the newly discovered countries in the west after the first name of Amerigo Vespucci, which is the first time that America appears on a map for the continent.

The annals of Tacitus are rediscovered in Corvey Monastery . It contains, among other things, sections on the Varus Battle and the Cheruscan Arminius .

After more than six years of travel through Asia occurs Ludovico de Varthema on December 6 aboard a Portuguese ship from Cannanore in Portuguese India from his home to Europe, which it around the Cape of Good Hope leads.
