Abstract

RÉSUMÉ:Les Drake << Silver Maps >> sont des disques d’argent de 68 mm (2.7 po) de diamètre avec des cartes du monde connu du XVIe siècle sur la route de Drake. Ils ont probablement été estampillés avec des matrices. Les neuf médailles existantes ont des poids de 260 à 424 grains (environ une once pour le plus lourd). Chacune de ces médailles a un diamètre qui est à peu près le même que celui d’un base-ball. Le plus léger est aussi mince qu’un ongle du pouce et le plus lourd est aussi épais qu’une carte de crédit. Cet article montre qu’ils ont été le plus probable statement créés en 1588–89: la preuve la plus forte pour cela est qu’ils ont utilisé la projection de carte stéréographique équatoriale double hémisphère de Mercator qui a été inventé par Rumold Mercator en 1587.ABSTRACT:The Drake Silver Maps are 68-mm-diameter silver disks with maps of the sixteenth-century known world featuring Drake’s route of circumnavigation.

弗朗西斯·德雷克爵士银地图的年代测定
概述:德雷克>是直径68毫米(2.7英寸)的银盘,上面有德雷克路上已知的16世纪世界地图。它们可能是用模具盖上的。现有的9枚奖牌的重量从260粒到424粒不等(最重的大约一盎司)。每枚奖牌的直径都和棒球的直径差不多。最轻的像指甲一样薄,最重的像信用卡一样厚。这篇文章表明,它们最有可能是在1588 - 89年创造的陈述:最有力的证据是,它们使用了墨卡托双半球赤道立体地图投影,这是由鲁莫德·墨卡托在1587年发明的。= =地理= =根据美国人口普查,这个县的面积为,其中土地面积为,其中土地面积为。他们可能是死的。The九现有medallions have weights 260至424粒(one weighs about The heaviest 28克)的花园。of these medallions has a, that is about The same as that of a ball网球。最轻的人是最瘦的人,最重的人是最厚的人。这篇文章表明,它们最有可能是在1588 - 89年创建的:最强烈的证据是,它们使用了Rumold Mercator在1587年首次使用的赤道双半球立体地图投影。
