Henricus Martellus Germanus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henricus Martellus Germanus (fl. 1480-1496) was a German cartographer who lived in Italy.

Around 1490, he produced a world map which was remarkably similar to the terrestrial globe (German: Erdapfel) produced by Martin Behaim in 1492. Both show heavy influences from Ptolemy.
