Ao menos assim acreditavam os europeus a partir do século XVI. A Europa, a Ásia e a África eram as três partes que mundo sempre tivera, desde a criação. A partir de 1492 o que era dúvida virou certeza, havia uma quarta parte. A América entrava assim na geografia mundo dos europeus. E na geografia sagrada. Era preciso explicar esse Novo Mundo, sua flora, sua fauna e seus habitantes. Entre os mais dedicados a fazê-lo estiveram os jesuítas. Primeiro, descrevendo esse grande mundo, para onde acorreram como missionários. Depois, detalhando suas regiões e povos. Surge daí uma vasta cartografia e a ideía de que um mundo só não era suficiente para as conquistas espirituais feitas em nome de Deus.
