Huomautukset |
Wind heads around the map lack captions, the strips have been left empty. Red Sea is unnamed, but coloured with two different shades of red. A broad red line (Tropic of Cancer) hides a place name on the west coast of Africa. Text written with sepia brown ink below "M[ons] Lune": Nilli paludes nimiu[m] susipiu[n]t aquas. Text written vertically with sepia brown ink between "Nilus f[luvius]" and an unnamed mountain range: Ho[m]i[n]es isti mag[...] s[un]t. Text on the Sea of Azov is illegible. Text on the Caspian Sea is illegible. Text on "Mare Indicvm" to the right of the Red Sea is illegible. Three names written with sepia brown ink above the Caspian sea are illegible. Three names written with sepia brown ink on the Arabian peninsula sea are illegible. Two weakly distinguishable, unnamed islands in the Western Mediterranean [= Balearic Islands?]. Four or five weakly distinguishable islands in the Atlantic Ocean named "Fortunate Insule". A black, unnamed spot on the map in the Eastern Mediterranean is probably Cyprus. Latitudes marked with explanations on the left side of the map. Longitudes marked only as numbers at the top of the map. |
