Four globe gores of this map exist, three of which are housed in the University of Minnesota. It was uncovered in 1901 by the Jesuit priest Josef Fischer. It was previously owned by Prince Waldburg-Wolfegg but was given to the United States. This map is divided into twelve sections, the bottom left of which depicts a ship and a significant name. One mystery surrounding this map involves its depiction of a large Pacific Ocean, even though no European had seen the western coast of South America.
