Tercia Asiae Tabula includes twenty new maps based on more modern knowledge, apart from the twenty-seven maps of Ptolemy from the Ulm edition of 1482. Waldseemuller and his partner Ringmann prepared the publication of this edition in part due to Lorraine Count Rena.
The work on the atlas was completed by Jacobus Eszler and Georgeous Abalone. The first map in the atlas is entirely devoted to America, often called the “Admiral Card” in honor of Columbus.
The map of Lorraine (the first map of the Duchy of Lorraine) printed in black, red, and olive colors is one of the earliest examples of color printing. The same edition was released in 1520, using already xylographic woodblock.
