[1507.] No voyages are mentioned in this year; but the bibliography of the year is remarkable. _Montalboddo_ (or Zorzi), _Paesi Nouamente retrouati, Et Nouo Mondo da Alberico Vesputio, Florentino, intitulato_, Vicentia, 1507, is the second collection of voyages issued, and the first of which any copies at present exist. This work is divided into six books, of which the fourth and fifth relate to America, the fourth being a reproduction of the _Libretto_ of 1504, while the fifth is the _Nouo Mondo_, or third voyage of Vespucci; and its mention in the title shows how important a feature it was deemed in a work of this character. In the following year, besides a new Italian edition, there appeared a German translation under the title of _Ruchamer_, _Newe unbekanthe landte_, Nuremberg, 1508, and a Latin translation, _Itinerariũ Portugallẽsiũ_, Milan, 1508. At least fourteen editions in Italian, Latin, German, and French appeared before 1530. [Sidenote: THE NAMING OF AMERICA.] _Hylacomylus (Waldsee-Müller)_, _Cosmographiæ Introdvctio ... Insuper quatuor Americi Vespucij Nauigationes_, Deodate (St Dié, Lorraine), 1507, is the title of a work which appeared four times in the same place and year. It is the first collection of Vespucci's four voyages, and generally regarded as the first edition of the first and fourth, although as we have seen M. Varnhagen claims an Italian edition of the first in 1506. This account of the third voyage is different from that so widely circulated before as _Mundus Novus_. Three other editions of the work, or of the part relating to Vespucci, appeared in 1509 and 1510. In _Hylacomylus_ the following passage occurs: "But now that those parts have been more extensively examined, and another fourth part has been discovered by Americus (as will be seen in the sequel), I do not see why we should rightly refuse to name it America, namely, the land of Americus or America, after its discoverer, Americus, a man of sagacious mind, since both Europe and Asia took their names from women." Here we have the origin of the name 'America.' To the northern discoveries of Columbus, Cabot, and Cortereal, on the islands and coast of the supposed Asia, no general name was given because those regions were already named India, Cathay, Mangi, etc., while names were applied by Europeans only to particular places on the new coasts. When Columbus in 1498 explored the northern coast of South America he had no doubt it was a portion, though probably a detached portion, of Asia, and the terms Paria and the Pearl Coast sufficed to designate the region during the succeeding trading voyages. Concerning these voyages, only a letter of Columbus and a slight account of Pinzon's expedition had been printed, apparently without attracting much attention. The voyages of Columbus, Bastidas, and Pinzon along the coast of Central America were almost unknown. Meanwhile the fame of the great navigator had become much obscured.
