Mid- to late 1500s map of South America entitled "Tierra Nova," with Latin text on back starting with "Americae Sive Perv". 12" x 9-1/4". A full map of South America and the southern Caribbean and even the west tip of Africa with rivers and capes and islands notated but only 4 towns (Cancha, Cuzco, Caxamalca and Xauca), presumably all Incan, with the early European demarcations of Castilla del Oro (Panama and Colombia), Peru and Brazil indicated, the printed Latin text on the back no help in figuring time period but must be very early based on the map itself (possibly one of the first maps of the entire continent), excellent condition with no major flaws.
