RESUMO

This work studied the workmanship Singularities of Antartic France, of André Thevet, royal French cosmógrapher of the expedition Antartic France in Rio de Janeiro. Our objective was to understand how Thevet constructed himself as cosmographer and how Brazil was inserted in his cosmographia. We note that it was used three mechanisms for such: description of Tupinambás and its customs, valuation of the personal experience in detriment of the antiquity s writings and the recurrence to some cosmographical terms of the time (latitude, longitude, compass, astrolabe)
