Text in German. This volume is a dissertation by J.G. Kohl on the two oldest maps of America, dated 1527 and 1529. It contains a large amount of geographical and historical information. The copy is from the American Geographical Society, and it has a bookplate from the society on the front pastedown and stamps throughout. With foreword, index, and two maps which are the facsimiles of the originals. Covers are detached from the block, and are rubbed and worn. The spine is missing. The pages are tanned and chipped along the edges; the sheets are loose. A very scarce book.
