uispeccoll:The gauntlet was thrown & the challenge was accepted.A few days ago Erik Kwakkel posted a fascinating bilingual map from Heinrich Bünting, Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae (1581) featuring America and a sea monster. (See the original post with the entire map).Then the gauntlet was thrown: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!By the way let me know if Google returned me the correct answer for “sea monster in German.”Enjoy.*edit * - This discussion of what term is best to use. Any thoughts? It looks like I may need to edit to Das Seeungeheuer. (Did you think you’d be involved in a discussion of 16th c German words for sea monster today? Special Collections - always the unexpected.) -- source link
