He was one of the first scientifically interested Europeans to leave the safety of their studies to investigate and describe new and exotic realities at risk of life and limb.

Amerigo Vespucci, der florentinische Bankier, der sich fur die Expeditionen, die er zunachst nur finanzierte, so sehr begeisterte, dass er in seiner zweiten Lebenshalfte Kosmographie und Astronomie studierte, leistete gerade in seiner Rolle als Aussenseiter und Amateur einen wesentlichen Beitrag in der Geschichte der fruhen Entdeckungen, denn er war einer der ersten wissenschaftlich interessierten Europaer, die ihre sichere Studierstube verliessen, um unter Gefahr fur Leib und Leben neue Wirklichkeiten vor Ort zu erforschen und zu beschreiben. Amerigos breitgefacherter kultureller Hintergrund, seine Position zwischen der Zivilisation des Florentiner Humanismus und den Erfahrungshorizonten iberischer Seefahrer haben ihn dazu pradestiniert, die authentische Stimme einer neuen Zeit und einer Neuen Welt zu werden, in der man nicht nur weiter reisen konnte und in grosseren Zusammenhangen denken musste, sondern auch Geschichten zu erzahlen hatte, wie sie noch nie zuvor erzahlt worden waren. Vespuccis 1502 erstmals erschienener Mundus Novus markiert daher einen Wendepunkt der europaischen Geistesgeschichte. Der kurze lateinische Text transportiert nicht nur die Idee einer Neuen Welt, sondern formuliert auch die Ablose der antik-humanistischen Buchwissenschaft durch die Empirie der Entdeckungen. Daruber hinaus stellt Vespuccis Schrift den Prototyp des neuzeitlichen Reise- und Abenteuerromans dar. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet neben Text und Ubersetzung auch einen ausfuhrlichen Kommentar sowie Tafeln zur Bio-Bibliographie Vespuccis und den relevanten Reisedaten. Zwei Essays beleuchten die kulturgeschichtliche Bedeutung von Text und Autor und weisen anhand neuer sprachlicher Untersuchungen die bislang umstrittene Authentizitat des Textes nach....Amerigo Vespucci, the Florentine banker who was so filled with enthusiasm for the expeditions he financed that in the second half of his life he started studying cosmography and astronomy, played an important role as outsider and amateur in the history of early discoveries.
