Playing a map from a globe
The Jagiellonian Globe (Latin Globus Jagellonicus ) is one of the oldest globes in the world and, possibly, the oldest, on which the outlines of America are marked. It dates from around 1510 , belonged to the Polish astronomer Jan Brozhek , was purchased for the Krakow Observatory at the end of the 18th century . It is stored in the museum of the Jagiellonian University of Krakow . First described at the end of the 19th century by the Polish scientist Tadeusz Estreicher . Prior to the creation of the Jagiellonian Globe, the coast of America, apparently, was inflicted by Waldzeemueller on his globes, however, his early products were not preserved.
