A Latin title across the top of this map reflects how much European mapmaking was carried on in Latin, the shared language of scholars, from the Renaissance through the 1700s. Maps of the Americas from that era were often assembled from uneven reports by explorers, merchants and missionaries, so coastlines and interior regions shifted as new voyages came back. Collectors and students valued such sheets as both geography and decoration, and the lettering, borders and ornaments often show as much about the period's assumptions as about what was actually known of the land.
