This fine atlas is an interesting mixture of portolan charts and topographical maps accompanied by texts which would be useful to sailors. It begins with four introductory drawings. First there is an illustration of the Atlantic Ocean, with large merchant vessels setting off in all directions from a point of Cavo S. Vincente, the southernmost extremity of the Iberian Peninsula. Most are under sail for the New World, although one is heading for Africa and another up the coast of western Europe. The sun is shown setting behind clouds, and the ocean is full of strange monsters. After this come images of the armilla (Figura della Sphera Accidentale), an elaborate table or instrument with three concentric revolving circles which can be used to calculate the movements of the sun and the phases of the moon (El Corso del Sole et della Luna), and a diagram giving the positions of the heavenly bodies.
The six double portolan charts which the atlas contains (AM.6.5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) have scales of latitude, scale bars and the compass roses so characteristic of Antonio\'s work. The eight double topographical maps have a network of parallels and meridians rather than rhumb lines. They also bear indications of latitude and longitude and scale bars, though different metrical systems are used on each occasion.
Most of the maps in the atlas have titles, set in the usual wavy band or in gold borders. The hinterland is depicted in the same manner in both the portolan charts and the topographical maps, which enhances the cartographic uniformity of the atlas. Towns and cities are given stylised markings, as are the rivers and the relief of the terrain, where the style is rather similar to that of Georgio Sideri. The ornamentation includes the emblems of the rulers of each area and ships.
The colour-scheme and the manner in which the maps, charts and drawings in the atlas have been executed are both elaborate and tasteful. The texts are a reworking of the material to be found in Antonio\'s isolarii and handbooks of navigation. The first text supplies basic information about navigation (f3r), and this is followed by descriptions of the Canary Islands (f4v-f5r), of the islands of the North Atlantic (f6v-f7r), of the island of S. Lorenzo (f8v-f9r), of the islands of the Indian Ocean (f10v-f11r), of the map of the world (f12v-f13r) and of the portolan chart (f14v-f15r). Last comes a lengthy text on how to identify the co-ordinates of a given position and how to calculate magnetic deviation (f16v-f17r, f18v-f19r, f20v-f21r, f22v-f23r, f24v-f25r, f26v-f27r, f28v-f29r and f30v).
As in the case of the Rome atlas, the structure of this atlas is influenced by the work of Agnese, while the cartographic work often relies on the printed Italian production and in particular of the maps in the miscellaneous atlases of the period 1560-1575 (Bertelli, Camocio, Gastaldi, Salamanca, etc.). The map of Greece, for instance (AM.6.18), is a faithful replica of the corresponding map drawn and engraved by Gastaldi in 1566 (Zacharakis b562), the map of Switzerland follows closely that of Aegidius Tschudi (engraved by Paolo Forlani at Venice in 1567), and that of Denmark and southern Scandinavia is a copy of the map by Cornelius Anthoniszoon engraved in Venice by Camocio in 1562.
The database “Greek Cartography: the Documents” includes the cartographic work of Greek mapmakers and Greek publishers of maps and cartographic material from the 15th century to 1820. The database contains manuscript and printed maps, atlases and isolarii. The works are either independent either included in geographical, historical or religious editions. Special attention is given to the printing history of the Greek mapmakers’ production. It is a product of the Research Project “Geographical Culture and History of Cartography” supervised by Dr. George Tolias, Research Director INR/NHRF.
