"Landing, from Cosmographie universelle" is a notable work from the 16th century, authored by André Thevet, a French Franciscan priest, explorer, cosmographer, and writer. Published in 1575 as part of his larger work, "Cosmographie universelle," this piece reflects Thevet's extensive travels and his ambition to compile all known geographical and cultural knowledge of the world into a single, comprehensive volume. Thevet's "Cosmographie universelle" is significant for its detailed descriptions of the lands, peoples, flora, and fauna encountered during his travels, as well as those reported by other explorers of his time.

The section titled "Landing" is particularly noteworthy for its vivid depiction of an encounter with a new land, capturing the sense of wonder and the complexities of early European exploration and contact with indigenous peoples. Thevet's work, including this piece, is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the European perspective on the world in the late Renaissance period. It combines firsthand observations with secondhand reports, blending factual information with elements of myth and speculation, characteristic of the era's approach to cosmography.

André Thevet's contributions through "Landing, from Cosmographie universelle" and his broader work are crucial for understanding the development of geographical thought and the dissemination of knowledge about the world beyond Europe's borders in the 16th century. His writings provide a rich source for historians and scholars interested in the early modern period, exploration history, and the cultural exchanges between Europe and the newly encountered territories.
