RE: Stump the German
You are on the right track, Roger. Although he himself was not a surveyor. I suggest to re-consider all my comments...put them together.... (I shall give a hint on the name later.)

RE: Stump the German
To summarize some keywords: book - surveying field - basic trivia - applying to almost all of you - long before Lincoln...
The gentleman's name literally translates to "Woodlakemiller".... |

Eva. Was his name something like "Waldseemueller?" I really don't know who this person is. I am just translating what you have given here.

RE: Stump the German
Well done, Roger, his name was Waldseemüller. Now, what did he do or what was his contribution to the "story"?

RE: Stump the German
Roger - Is there some way of stopping unrelated topics from sneaking into ongoing trivia guesses until the trivia is answered correctly. An example of this is right here with an insert of a topic from five months ago interrupting "the flow" of Eva's current quiz. It took my aging brain a few seconds to figure out why we went from a 1507 question to details on an American Civil War naval battle.

The question we are presently working on is here. Thanks, David. |

I am American and you are European -- New World vs. Old World in 1507? Something to do with Columbus's (now disputed) discovery of the New World 15 years earlier? |
