Joseph Fischer, S.J. (German: Josef Fischer; 19 March 1858 – 26 October 1944) was a German clergyman and cartographer. Fischer had an eminently successful career as a cartographer, publishing old maps. In 1901, while he was investigating the Vikings' discovery of America, he accidentally discovered the long-lost map of Martin Waldseemüller, dated 1507. This map, which claims to update Ptolemy with the voyages of Amerigo Vespucci, is the first known to display the word America. The map was purchased from its owner by the United States Library of Congress in 2001 for ten million dollars.

  • Joseph Fischer est un cartographe et pasteur allemand né le 19 mars 1858 à Bergheim en Province de Rhénanie et décédé le 26 octobre 1944 à Wolfegg dans l'État libre populaire de Wurtemberg. Il est principalement connu pour avoir publié tout au long de son éminente carrière de nombreuses anciennes cartes du monde. En 1901, alors qu'il enquête sur la découverte de l'Amérique par les Vikings, il découvre accidentellement une carte de Martin Waldseemüller perdue depuis longtemps datée de 1507. Cette carte, qui prétend mettre à jour les connaissance de Claude Ptolémée grâce aux voyages d'Amerigo Vespucci, est la première connue à présenter le mot Amérique. La carte est ensuite acquise par la Bibliothèque du Congrès des États-Unis en 2001 pour dix millions de dollars. (fr)
