. English: Johann Stabius's 1515 world map, whose engraving is credited to Albrecht Dürer. A planisphere globe surrounded by the twelve winds, equivalent to Ptolemy's third projection. The arms of Matthäus Cardinal Lang von Wellenburg, archbishop of Salzburg, at upper left; the arms of Johann Stabius, imperial astrologer, at lower left. Dedication to Cardinal Lang at upper right; imperial privilege and date at lower right. As no 16th-century copies are known to survive and the image lacks the subtitle of Adam von Bartsch (1757-1821)'s 1781 reprint, it is presumably from Carl Ritter (1779-1859)
