[215] The probability is it was not originally constructed for this purpose, although globe goblets were not uncommon in this century. See below, p. 199.

[217] This book appears to be one of the earliest works treating of the scientific construction of globes, and of the use of trigonometry in the preparation of the globe gores.

[218] The representation closely resembles that given by Schoner. See Fig. 54.

In this letter the New World is called Atlantis.

[241] Such globes, it will be noted, represent the Ptolemaic system.
