Abstract The largely unstudied anonymous manuscript world map of c.1530 that is Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana MS Urb. Lat. 274, folios 73v-74r, has a hypothetical southern continent. This unusual feature forms an extravagant ring of land around the South Pole and is full of toponyms despite its designation as Terra Incognita. This paper includes a discussion of the map's toponyms in the known world and provides a comprehensive transcription and analysis of those of the southern continent. Many of the latter names seem to have been pure invention on the part of the mapmaker, but some are identical with those given by Columbus to features in Central America during his Fourth Voyage to the New World. The reasons for the placement of New World toponyms on the land to the south of Asia are discussed. /// La carte manuscrite du monde, très peu étudiée, datée d'environ 1530, du manuscrit Urb. Lat. 274, folios 73v-74r de la Bibliothèque vaticane, présente un hypothétique continent austral. Ce trait inhabituel forme un anneau de terre extravagant autour du pôle sud et est rempli de toponymes en dépit de sa désignation comme Terra Incognita. Cet article comprend une discussion des toponymes du monde connu portés sur la carte et fournit la transcription complète et l'analyse de ceux du continent austral. Parmi ces derniers, nombreux sont ceux qui semblent relever de la pure invention de la part du cartographe mais quelques-uns sont identiques à ceux que donna Colomb à des parties de l'Amérique centrale lors de son quatrième voyage au Nouveau Monde. Nous discutons des raisons qui ont conduit à placer des toponymes du Nouveau Monde sur des terres au sud de l'Asie. /// Die weitgehend unerforschte anonyme handgezeichnete Weltkarte von ca. 1530 in der Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (MS Urb. Lat. 274, fols. 73v-74r), zeigt einen hypothetischen Südkontinent. Diese ungewöhnliche Darstellung bildet einen auffälligen Ring aus Ländern um den Südpol, der--obwohl als unbekanntes Land bezeichnet--mit Toponymen gefüllt ist. In diesem Beitrag wird sowohl das Namensgut der bekannten Weltteile erörtert als auch eine vollständige Transkription und Analyse desjenigen auf dem Südkontinent vorgenommen. Viele der letzteren scheinen reine Phantasieprodukte des Kartenzeichners zu sein, einige sind jedoch identisch mit solchen, die Kolumbus während seiner vierten Reise für Örtlichkeiten in Mittelamerika vergeben hat. Die Gründe für die Verwendung von Namensgut aus der Neuen Welt in Ländern südlich von Asien werden diskutiert. /// El anónimo, y en su mayor parte no estudiado, mapamundi de c.1530 que está en el MS Urb. Lat. 274, folios 73v-74r de la Biblioteca Apostólica Vaticana, presenta un hipotético continente meridional en Asia. Esta inusual característica forma un extravagante anillo de tierra alrededor del polo Sur y aparece lleno de topónimos a pesar de su designatión como Terra Incognita. Este artículo trata de los topónimos del mapa y proportiona una trascripción y análisis de los de ese continente sur. Muchos de esos nombres parecen ser pura invención del cartógrafo, pero algunos son idénticos a los que Colón asignó en América Central durante su cuarto viaje al Nuevo Mundo. Aquí se plantean las razones de la colocatión de topónimos del Nuevo Mundo en tierras del sur de Asia. Journal Information Imago Mundi is the only English-language scholarly periodical devoted exclusively to the history of pre-modern maps, mapping, and map-related ideas from anywhere in the world. It was founded in Berlin in 1935 by the Russian émigré Leo Bagrow as an annual publication, although only five volumes appeared between 1935 and 1948. From 1975 to 2003 publication was regular. In 2004 Imago Mundi became a biannual publication. The first volume was in German. Thereafter English was used with, very occasionally, French.

All articles represent original research, are refereed, and are well illustrated (recent volumes have included color plates). Since 1977 each volume has contained a full complement of scholarly aids in the form of book reviews, bibliography, and chronicles, all of which have made Imago Mundi a valuable journal of record as well as scholarship.
