A composição das descrições desses viajantes revela, a partir da literatura de viagem, da pintura e da cartografia, imagens que são típicas da cosmologia de séculos anteriores. Em seus escritos, bem como nas representações iconográficas de que se valeram para patentear uma descrição do território recém-descoberto, a fauna, a flora e seus habitantes são, potencialmente, sérios candidatos a figurarem na categoria do universo fantástico, tão presente na literatura e na iconografia produzida pelos homens da Idade Média. Essa idéia pode ser encontrada em viajantes dos séculos XVI e XVII como Fernão Cardim, Jean de Léry, Pero de Magalhães Gândavo e Gabriel Soares de Sousa.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2008-05-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/279610.4025/actascihumansoc.v23i0.2796Acta Scientiarum.
