What do you mean this map was hidden? Conspiracy?


It only says in an internet site, that it resurfaced in 1901. It could well have been in privat hands during that time and not available to the public. Records were not open game for everyone as they are now with internet etc. user:H.J.


Anybody think incl pronounciation of his name (roughly "wald zee mool ur", I believe) is a good idea? Trekphiler 23:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] How to Type the letter ü in Waldseemüller ?

If you want to use "ü" instead of "u" in a Waldseemüller, then use these keyboard stroke / keys :

Press "W", "a", "l", "d", "s", "e", "e", "m". Then press ...

Alt + 0252 (it means, first press the "Alt" (Alternative/Alternate) key in your keyboard, and keep it pressing with your left hand, then press the digits 0 2 5 2 one by one, in the right-side numeric keypad).

Press "l", "l", "e", "r".

Then you will get Waldseemüller. To make it a linkable name (to goto his article,) use two third brackets at the beginning and end of the name, like this [[Martin Waldseemüller]], then you will get linkable Martin Waldseemüller.
