| Notes: | The earliest linguistic maps of the four continents. Where he can, Hensel translates the first few words of the Lord’s Prayer (“Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name”) into local languages. Elsewhere, as in America and Africa, he notes human migrations. In Brazil, for example, evidence suggests, he says, that the first humans there came from Africa. In the box at the bottom right of Africa, he states that the map colors mark areas settled by descendants of the three sons of Noah: Japhet (“rubicundi,” here pink), Shem (“oriundos,” here yellow-orange), and Ham (“virides,” here olive green). Along the sides and at the bottom of the four maps are alphabet tables that cover most known written languages.
