Henricus Martellus Germanus was a German linguistic communication geographer together with cartographer who lived together with worked inwards Florence from 1480 to 1496. In to a greater extent than or less 1490 Martellus created a globe map. The Martellus globe map is said to accept been an inspiration for the Waldseemüller map of 1507.
The only surviving re-create of the Martellus Map was flora inwards the 1960's together with donated to Yale's Beinecke Rare Book together with Manuscript Library. Unfortunately the map is extremely faded, which makes a lot of the map's text illegible. This is why the Lazarus Project at the University of Rochester has been examining the map using multispectral imaging.
Multispectral Imaging is used to capture digital images of manuscripts, maps together with texts which tin laissez passer the sack so move digitally processed to aid recover faded or damaged text together with images. You tin laissez passer the sack sentiment the success of the Lazarus Project's run on this before & afterward interactive Martellus Map. This Leaflet map allows you lot to straight compare the digitally restored map amongst the master faded Martellus Map.
The Lazarus Project's before & afterward interactive was created on Leaflet.js using Jack Reed's Leaflet-IIIF plug-in. This is the same plug-in which I used to create my Mappae Mundi collection of historical globe maps. You tin laissez passer the sack sentiment the Waldseemüller map of 1507 on Mappae Mundi yesteryear clicking on the 1507 button. If you lot compare the Waldseemüller map to the before Martellus map you lot tin laissez passer the sack run across the influence that Martellus had on Waldseemüller.
Of degree a few years afterward Martellus created his globe map Christopher Columbus stumbled upon the Americas. That western province majority is thence missing from the Martellus Map but is famously included on Waldseemüller's 1507 map of the globe (the start globe map to include the discussion 'America').
