Cartographica Helvetica 14 (1996) 20-24: Summary - English
URL: http://www.stub.unibe.ch/dach/ch/ch/summaries/e14c.html

Martin Behaim (1459–1507) from Nuremberg commissioned the oldest known terrestrial globe, which was constructed between 1491 and 1492. He left the technical work of the globe to a painter and craftsman. The resulting globe has a diameter of 51 cm and is kept at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. Because of its sensitivity to light exposure, it is no longer exhibited. The globe is a unique document of the geographical world at the time just before Christopher Colombus left for his great discoveries.
