Lorenz Fries was a prominent cartographer and physician who lived during the 16th century. He is known for his work as an editor and publisher of several notable maps, including the 1522 map of the world.

Fries' map of the world, titled "Tabula nova partis Indiae", was published in the early 16th century, around 1522. It is a woodcut map, meaning it was created by carving the image onto a wooden block and then printing it onto paper. Fries based his map on earlier cartographic works, particularly the maps of Martin Waldseemüller and Sebastian Münster.

The 1522 map of the world by Lorenz Fries depicts the known world at the time, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and parts of the Americas. However, it is important to note that this map predates many significant geographical discoveries, such as the circumnavigation of the Earth by Ferdinand Magellan.

Fries' map incorporates various geographical features and place names, presenting a blend of both accurate and speculative information. It includes major rivers, mountain ranges, and cities of the time. Notably, the map shows the division of the world into three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa, with the Tigris and Euphrates rivers serving as the dividing line between Asia and Africa.

It's worth mentioning that cartographic knowledge was still evolving during the 16th century, and maps from that period may contain inaccuracies or reflect the limited understanding of the world's geography at the time. Nonetheless, Fries' map of the world provides valuable insights into the prevailing knowledge and perceptions of the world in the early 16th century.
