The University Library in Munich, Germany, has a new site which includes its cimelia.

One of the treasures is the "Hausbuch" of Michael de Leone which includes among many other texts the "Buch von guter Speise".

(the PDF-file is quite large, something like 900 MBs)

Another fine text is Martin Waldseemuellers Cosmographiae introductio published 1507

In the PDF-file image # 38 you find the famous passage where the newly invented land is called "America".

Have fun,

Emilio
